Poona Pact 1932

Poona pact came after the declaration of Mcdonald's communal award after the second round table conference. Where Gandhiji spoke about the harmony and brotherhood among the fellow Indians and tried to explain that we Indians can administer ourselves and that we are capable of resolving our differences. But Dr B R Ambedkar politely yet vehemently disagreed with Mr Gandhi and put forth the sufferings and the injustice faced by the depressed class under the Brahmanical society of India.

As a result, McDMcdona communal reward was declared in favour of the depressed class. However Gandhi Ji was not happy about it and went on a indefinite "Hunger strike" against the communal award believing it might break the "Hindu Society".

The entire country was in distress as Mr Gandhi's fast went about six days and his health was loosing strength. Ambedkar gave up the MacDonald's Communal award that was a awarded to the depressed class after years of struggle only to save a man who was certainly more concerned with the Hindu unity over the welfare of the depressed class.

If I were in Baba Saheb Ambedkar's place, I would have let Gandhi Ji die and be a martyr for the cause that he fought for and I would have secured the reward of the depressed class and the generations to come along in the future. But hundreds and thousands of pogroms would have been organised to kill dalit all over the country to avenge the death of Mr Gandhi.

Fortunately for Gandhi Ji, Baba Saheb Ambedkar was a bigger person with a beautiful soul that did not let a person die who was fighting for a cause that was evil to the interests of the depressed class.

Some people say that there was benevolence in the act of Hunger strike by Gandhi Ji. They say that he did not want the society to divide on the line of caste and there be equality in the Society.

I need only one term to refute this argument. "Kulam Kalvi Thittam"(Varnashram) that followed Poona Pact.

Gandhi Ji was saved by someone who agreed to Communal award.

Eventually Gandhi Ji was killed by someone who disagreed to Communal award just like him.
