• It was an agreement between Dr. Ambedkar
and M.K Gandhi.
When the British agreed with Ambedkar and announced the awarding
of separate electorates, Gandhi began a fast while imprisoned in the
Yerwada Central Jail of Pune in 1932 against the separate electorate
for untouchables only. Gandhi's fast provoked huge civil unrest across
India, and orthodox Hindu leaders, Congress politicians and activists
such as Madan Mohan Malaviya and Palwankar Baloo organized joint
meetings with Ambedkar and his supporters at Yeravada. Fearing a
communal reprisal and genocide of untouchables, Ambedkar agreed
under massive coercion from the supporters of Gandhi. This
agreement, which saw Gandhi end his fast, was called the Poona Pact.
