Question

Dr B.R. Ambedkar, who organised the Dalits into the Depressed Classes Association in 1930,

clashed with Mahatma Gandhi at the second Round Table Conference by demanding separate

electorates for Dalits. When the British government conceded Ambedkar’s demand, Gandhiji

began a fast unto death. He believed that separate electorates for Dalits would slow down the

process of their integration into society. Ambedkar ultimately accepted Gandhiji’s position and

the result was the Poona Pact of September 1932. It gave the Depressed Classes (later to be

known as the Schedule Castes) reserved seats in provincial and central legislative councils, but
