Answer:

Gandhi ji opposed a separate electorate fro Harijans because he did not consider himself a politician. Harijans were given a separate seat in the communal awards and they were not considered at proper hindus and therefore were discriminated against. Gandhi ji wanted them to be considered and given the same right to vote as the hindus as one.

Gandhiji opposed a separate electorate for Harijans because he wanted them to be considered and given the same right to vote as the Hindus as one.

Explanation:

  • They were given reserved seats but separate from the Hindus which he knew was a clear practice to divide and create a rift between the upper Hindu caste and formers.
  • He also understood the fact once a particular community is given an incentive to remain backward for perpetuity that former would always want to likewise.
  • His thought of empowering the Harijans in a real way is to remove untouchability not by providing them reservations eventually he made fast against the communal awards.
