Round Table Conference Geographies explores a major international
conference in 1930s London which determined India's constitutional
future in the British Empire. Pre-dating the decolonising
conferences of the 1950s-60s, the Round Table Conference laid the
blueprint for India's future federal constitution. Despite this the
conference is unanimously read as a failure, for not having
comprehensively reconciled the competing demands of liberal and
Indian National Congress politicians, of Hindus and Muslims, and of
British versus Princely India. This book argues that the
conference's three sessions were vital sites of Indian and imperial
politics that demand serious attention. It explores the spatial
politics of the conference in terms of its imaginary geographies,
infrastructures, host city, and how the conference was contested
and represented. The book concludes by asking who gained through
representing the conference as a failure and explores it, instead,
as a teeming political, social and material space.
