The British Prime Minister during 1929 – 1935, Ramsay MacDonald, wanted to give separate electorates to the depressed classes of India. This was opposed by Mahatma Gandhi, B. R. Ambedkar and other leaders.
Gandhiji started a fast-unto-death, while at the Yerwada jail in Poona, against this move and was successful in getting the British to agree to most of their terms. The Poona Act was an agreement on reservation of electoral seats for the depressed classes, in the British India legislature, signed in September, 1932.
