What purpose Gandhi-Jinnah Talks were held in September 1944?

The Gandhi-Jinnah Talks in September 1944 aimed to resolve the deadlock between the Indian National Congress and the All-India Muslim League regarding India's future political framework. Mahatma Gandhi sought to negotiate an agreement that would promote Hindu-Muslim unity and address Muslim concerns about representation and autonomy. However, the discussions ultimately failed, as Jinnah remained firm on his demand for a separate nation for Muslims, leading to further divisions in the Indian independence movement. The talks highlighted the growing rift between the two communities and set the stage for future political developments.
