    The Gandhi-Jinnah talks in 1944 aimed to discuss India's future independence and governance between Gandhi and Jinnah, the leaders of the Indian National Congress and Muslim League. However, the talks failed to reach agreement because Gandhi insisted on joint struggle and rejected immediate partition, while Jinnah supported provincial control over foreign affairs and did not accept Gandhi alone representing all Indians, endorsing the two-nation theory that Gandhi rejected.
