The Poona Pact refers to an agreement between the lower caste Untouchables (then called Depressed Classes, now referred to as Dalits) of India led by Dr. B. R.Ambedkar and the upper caste Hindus of India that took place on 24 September 1932 at Yerawada Jail in Pune (now in Maharashtra), India.
During the first Round Table Conference, Ambedkar favored British to provide separate electorate for the oppressed classes
Gandhi did not attend the first Round Table but was present in the later ones. Gandhiji strongly opposed the proposal of separate electorate for the depressed classes as he thought that it would disintegrate Hindu society.
He went for an indefinite hunger strike
Ambedkar was put in a great pressure and he was forced to soften his stand.
The compromise between the leaders of caste Hindu and the depressed classes was achieved when Dr. B.R.Ambedkar signed the Poona Pact on September 24, 1932.
