What is correct in respect of B.R. Ambedkar in the context of the Indian Freedom struggle?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option 1- During the national movement, Ambedkar demanded separate electorates for the Depressed Castes.
During the national movement Ambedkar had demanded separate electorates for the Depressed Castes, and Mahatma Gandhi had opposed it, arguing that this would permanently segregate them from the rest of society
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.
