The Poona Pact was signed between Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in 1932. This agreement was made to resolve the issue of separate electorates for the Dalits (then referred to as "Depressed Classes") in British India, which had been proposed by the British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald.

The pact resulted in reserved seats for the Depressed Classes in the provincial legislatures within the framework of the general electorate.
