Detailed Solution

The given statement is false. Gandhiji believed that separate electorates would be the cause for further breaking up of the already diverse nation and thus hindering the possibility of freedom from the oppressive British rulers. Hence he opposed it. Separate electorates meant voters from a particular community could elect a candidate belonging to the same community. Both the Muslims and the Dalits were clamoring for separate electorates. Thus, these social groups did not enthusiastically participate in the Civil Disobedience Movement. Hence the correct statement would be, Mahatma Gandhi was not in the support of separate electorates.
