What was the Gandhi-Irwin Pact and what did it lead to?
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
By the pact of March 1931 the government agreed to release political prisoners not convicted of violence, withdraw the ordinances, and allow the peaceful picketing of foreign cloth and the making of salt in coastal areas. The Congress agreed to suspend the Civil Disobedience Movement and to take part in the second Round Table Conference, which Gandhi attended as its sole representative.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
The conference failed, and civil disobedience was resumed in 1932.
