Contemporary accounts and reference works describe the events as a series of meetings conducted in three sessions to consider constitutional reforms for India, explicitly characterising them as sessions of one conference rather than distinct conferences [1]. Thus labelling them as First, Second and Third Round Table Conferences is misleading in form: they were sequential sessions of the same Round Table exercise called by the British government, even though participation and outcomes varied between sessions.
