The meeting of Indian and British political leaders during 1930-32 in London has often been referred to as the First, Second and third Round Table Conferences. It would be incorrect to refer to them as such because:

• A. the Indian National Congress did not take part in two of them
• B. Indian parties other than the Indian National Congress participating in the Conference represented sectional interests and not the whole of India
• C. the British Labour Party had withdrawn from the Conference thereby making the proceeding of the Conference partisan
• D. it was an instance of a Conference held in three session and not that ofthree separate conferences.
