On September 24, 1932, Gandhiji and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar signed the Poona Pact on the reservation of electoral seats for the depressed classes in the British India legislature on behalf of the depressed classes and upper-caste Hindu leaders.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, who organised the dalits into the Depressed Classes Association in 1930, challenged Mahatma Gandhi at the second Round Table Conference by demanding separate electorates for the dalits. After the British government consented to Ambedkar's demand, Gandhiji began a death fast. Ambedkar's endorsement of Gandhiji's views resulted in the Poona Pact of September 1932.

The Poona Pact's main features were:

  • It provided reserved seats in provincial and central legislative councils for the Depressed Classes (later known as the Schedule Castes).
  • The general electorate was supposed to vote them in.
  • iThe act was enacted as a result of Gandhiji's death-defying fast, and Ambedkar eventually agreed with Gandhiji's position.
  • The broader electorate was to vote them in.
  • Act was enacted as a result of Gandhiji's death-defying fast.
  • Ambedkar eventually agreed with Gandhiji's viewpoint.
