After the conclusion of the First Round Table Conference, the British government
realized that the cooperation of the Indian National Congress was necessary for further advancement in the making of the Indian constitution.

The agreement between Gandhi and Irwin was signed on March 5, 1931. Following are the salient points of this agreement:

Lord Irwin invited Gandhi to London in 1931 to discuss the ongoing civil disobedience movement and seek a resolution to the tensions between the British government and Indian nationalists. The invitation was part of the Round Table Conference aimed at addressing constitutional reforms in India and potentially negotiating a settlement. Gandhi's involvement was seen as crucial due to his leadership in the independence movement, and Lord Irwin hoped that engaging him directly could facilitate a constructive dialogue.
Gandhi aimed to alert Lord Irwin to his plans for the Salt March in order to draw attention to the injustices of British colonial rule and to provoke a response that would highlight the need for Indian independence. By informing Irwin, he sought to create a dialogue and demonstrate the determination of the Indian people to resist oppressive laws peacefully. Gandhi believed that this act of nonviolent protest could mobilize public support and increase pressure on the British government to negotiate with Indian leaders. Ultimately, he hoped to inspire a broader movement for civil rights and self-governance in India.

The Gandhi and Lord Irwins pact was mainly as the Hindus believed that the bullets given to them by the English contained cow fat. Which was against the Hindu religion, and also pork ,which was against the Muslim religion.
The Gandhi-Irwin Pact, signed in March 1931, resulted in the British government's agreement to release political prisoners and suspend the civil disobedience movement led by Mahatma Gandhi. In return, Gandhi promised to call off the protests and participate in the Round Table Conference to discuss constitutional reforms for India. The pact marked a significant step in the Indian independence movement, though it also highlighted the limitations of negotiations with the British government, as it did not grant any substantial concessions toward self-rule. Overall, it set the stage for further political engagement between Indian leaders and British authorities.
