Previously I have told you that at the time of 2nd Round Table Conference an announcement for Communal Award was made. This Communal Award also famously known as the Macdonald Award was announced by the British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald on 16 August 1932 granting separate electorates in India for the Forward Caste, Scheduled Caste, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Indian Christians, Anglo-Indians, Europeans and Depressed Classes (now known as the Scheduled Caste). This Communal Award was a strategy of the British Empire to divide the Hindu Community and India as a whole from within. Gandhiji knew this and against this Communal Award he sat on a fast unto death at Yerawada Jail Pune on 20th September 1932. This act of Gandhi created a deep emotion among the leaders of the caste Hindus and the depressed classes who reached in an agreement in Poona to save Gandhiji’s life as well as the unity of the Hindu Community. The final agreement came out in the form of POONA PACT 1932. After this in order to solve the problems of the depressed classes, Gandhi founded All India Anti Untouchability League, to remove untouchability in the society, which was later renamed as Harijan Sevak Sangh also known as Servants of Untouchables Society.
