It is worth noting that the Gandhi-Irwin Pact was not signed in London, as some people may think, but in New Delhi on March 5, 1931. It was a political pact between Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin, who was then the Viceroy of India. It marked a pause in the Civil Disobedience Movement of 1930-31 and paved the way for Gandhi’s participation in the Second Round Table Conference in London.
