What was the affect of Poona pact? How does it affect the dalit
Answers
Answer:
The 1931 Poona Pact shaped India's Dalit political representation, and its implications are felt even in today's parliamentary elections. At the heart of it lay a fundamental difference in their points of view. While Gandhi saw untouchability as a social issue, Ambedkar understood caste as a political one.
The anniversary of the Poona Pact of 1932, signed between Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, falls on September 24. Much water has flown in the Ganges in the last 80 years since the Poona Pact was signed but the condition and the fare of the Dalits in India did not change much for the better, in spite of legal and constitutional provisions made even in the constitution of India. The much-needed empowerment of Dalits remains an issue even after 65 years of independence. Let us analyze the subsequent developments, after the Poona Pact, which has directly or indirectly affected the empowerment of Dalits which was the sole purpose of the Pact.
