• The demand of separate electorates for the Dalits was raised in the Second Round Table Conference.
• The British agreed to the conditions, but Gandhiji refused because he believed that having separate electorates for Dalits would hinder their absorption into society.
• Ambedkar accepted Gandhiji's viewpoint after much persuasion and signed the Poona Pact in September 1932.
• As a result, seats were reserved for the Dalits in provincial and central legislatures, although they had to be elected by the general public.
