The Communal Award of the British Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald provided separate electorates for the Sikhs, Muslims, Anglo Indians and the Depressed Classes. Gandhi strongly opposed the Communal Award on the grounds that it would disintegrate Hindu society. Ambedkar vehemently criticised the way of handling the problems of the Harijans by Gandhiji. Gandhi took up a fast unto death in his prison cell in Poona, protesting that separate electorates were a device which would separate the untouchables from the Hindu society forever. He began an indefinite hunger strike at Yerwada Central Jail from 20 September 1932 to protest against this Award. A compromise was reached on 24 September 1932. This was called as Poona pact, as per this pact the Depressed Classes were to be provided reservation in the general category seats itself.
