Answer
The Second Round Table conference was held in London in 1931. It was attended by Gandhiji as the sole representative of the Congress.
Gandhiji demanded the immediate grant of responsible government for India. However, the conference became deadlocked on the minorities issue, with separate electorates being demanded not only by Muslims but also by the Depressed Classes, Indian Christians, Anglo-Indians and Europeans.
The question of Independence or setting up of a responsible Government receded into the background. The British Government refused to concede the immediate grant of dominion status.
