Options:
During the national movement Ambedkar had demanded separate electorates for the Depressed Castes.
During the debates in Constituent Assembly also, Ambedkar demanded separate electorates for the Depressed Castes.
Both 1 and 2
Ambedkar never demanded separate electorates for the Depressed Castes.
Correct Answer:
During the national movement Ambedkar had demanded separate electorates for the Depressed Castes.
Explanation:
After the Partition violence, Ambedkar too no longer argued for separate electorates. The Constituent Assembly finally recommended that untouchability be abolished, Hindu temples be thrown open to all castes, and seats in legislatures and jobs in government offices be reserved for the lowest castes.
