Answer:
Poona Pact of 1932 was signed between Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar so as to get the equal status to the backward classes which were treated as untouchables.
Explanation:
At the time of second round table conference, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar demanded for separate electorates for Dalits.
Need of separate electorates: The people of that time had to face the social evil of untouchability and all the people were treated as animals and they were not allowed to visit temples and take water from the wells or to visit any get together or to study at the same level of different castes.
So, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar demanded for separate electorates for dalits so as to enjoy the equal status as that of other people.
But Gandhiji opposed this step of B. R. Ambedkar because this step will lead to disintegration of people. This issue was solved by the Britishers by the introduction of Poona Pact of 1932.
Poona Pact of 1932: It was an agreement between Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar to solve the arising conflicts between the different sections of society. This pact will provide reservation to different communities in the legislature of India.
