Poona Pact, 1932, was signed between ______.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi

The correct answer is Option 1- Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi

The Poona Pact, 1932, was signed between Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi.

The pact was an agreement between the two leaders on the representation of Dalits (formerly known as "untouchables") in the legislatures of British India. The pact was signed on September 24, 1932, at the Yerwada Central Jail in Poona (now Pune).

The pact was a compromise between the two leaders. Ambedkar had demanded separate electorates for Dalits, while Gandhi had opposed this, arguing that it would perpetuate the caste system. Under the Poona Pact, Dalits were given reserved seats in the legislatures, but they would be elected through joint electorates.

The Poona Pact was a significant event in the Indian independence movement. It helped to unite Hindus and Dalits in their struggle against British rule. It also paved the way for the introduction of affirmative action policies for Dalits after independence.
