Detailed Solution

The Poona Pact took place in 1932.
At the Second Round Table Conference, Dr B.R. Ambedkar, who founded the Depressed Classes Association in 1930, fought against Mahatma Gandhi by demanding separate electorates for Dalits. When the British government granted Ambedkar's request, Gandhi began fasting. Separate electorates for Dalits, Gandhi argued, would delay the pace of their assimilation into the society. Ambedkar finally agreed with Gandhi's view, which resulted in the Poona Pact of September 1932. The Pact granted reserved seats in provincial and state legislatures for the depressed classes (later known as scheduled castes), though they had to be voted by the general electorate. On the other hand, the Dalit movement remained wary of the INC-led national party.
