Name the personality who organised the Dalits into the Depressed Classes Association

Question: Name the personality who organised the Dalits into the Depressed Classes Association.

Answer: Dr B.R. Ambedkar organised the Dalits into the Depressed Classes Association in 1930. But he clashed with Mahatma Gandhi at the Second Round Table conference. He demanded a separate electorate for Dalits. Gandhiji felt that granting of a separate electorate may harm the unity of our country and weaken the freedom struggle. Hence, they both signed the Poona Pact in 1932.
