At the Second Round Table Conference, who among the following led the FICCI delegation ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The Second Round Table Conference was held in London in 1931. While Mahatma Gandhi represented the Indian National Congress, the Indian capitalist class was represented by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). The FICCI delegation was led by G.D. Birla and Sir Purshottamdas Thakurdas.

  • They advocated for Indian economic interests, specifically demanding fiscal autonomy and protection for indigenous industries against British competition.
  • Homi Mody also attended the conference but primarily represented the Bombay Millowners' Association, which at times held views distinct from the more nationalist-leaning FICCI.
  • J.R.D. Tata and Jamnalal Bajaj were prominent figures but did not lead the FICCI delegation at this specific conference.

The participation of Birla and Thakurdas signified the strong link between the Indian business community and the nationalist struggle for self-rule.
