Explanation:
The Poona Pact was an agreement between Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi which was signed on 24 September 1932 at Yerwada Central Jail in Pune, India, which asserted that there will be a single Hindu electorate, with scheduled castes having seats reserved within it,So the representation of these classes was based on the standards of joint electorates and reserved seats. The Communal Award was made by the British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald on 16 August 1932 which allowed separate electorates in India, and it was supported by Ambedkar.
