Question: What was the result of the Poona Pact of September 1932?
Answer: Poona Pact was signed between Dr B.R. Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi.
1). The Pact gave depressed classes reserved seats in the provincial and central legislative councils but to be voted in by the general electorate.
2). Earlier, Ambedkar and Gandhiji clashed at the Second Round Table Conference as Ambedkar demanded a separate electorate for the Dalits.
3). Mahatma Gandhi was against this as he felt that granting a separate electorate would weaken the independence movement affecting the unity among Indians. Hence, this Pact was signed to resolve the demand.
