Question

Describe the main features og Poona Pact

Answer 1

During the first Round Table Conference, when Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar favoured the move of the British Government to provide separate electorate for the oppressed classes (Dalit), Gandhi strongly opposed it on the plea that the move would give power to the oppressed classes (Dalit). He went for an indefinite hunger strike from September 20, 1932 against the decision of the then British Prime Minister J.Ramsay MacDonald granting communal award to the depressed classes in the constitution for governance of British India.The major points in this pact were as follows:
1)148 seats were to be allotted to the depressed classes in the provincial legislatures. This was more than double from the 71 seats as promised in the Communal Award.


2) Certain percentage of the seats allotted to the general Non-Muslim electorate would be reserved for the depressed classes.

3) Congress agreed that adequate representation would be given to the depressed classes in the civil services.

4) The depressed classes agreed to adhere to the principle of Joint Electorate.
