Gandhi was the figurehead for Indian nationalism and employed non-violent method called “Satyagraha” in pursuit of his goals. It is said that the negotiations for India’s independence started with “The Gandhi-Irwin Pact”; which gradually led to greater negotiation between the British and the Indians; and eventually independence for India. This paper will analyze the negotiation strategy and the tactics deployed by Indian Congress Party led by Gandhi that paved the path for India’s independence and the reason behind my freedom of speech today.

Gandhi-Irwin Pact 1931: The First Round Table Conference had failed. The British Government decided to step down for a compromise with Gandhi. On January 25, 1931 Gandhi and all members of the CWC were released from jail unconditionally. Gandhi--Irwin Pact was signed by Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin to bring about a compromise between the government and the Congress on 5th March 1931, before the second Round Table Conference in London. This pact placed the Congress on an equal footing with the British Government on the Negotiations table for the first time; paving the path for India’s Independence.
