The Poona Pact refers to an agreement between B. R. Ambedkar & Gandhiji on the reservation of electoral seats for the depressed classes in the legislature of then British India.
It was made on the 24th of September 1932 at Yerwada Central Jail in Poona and was signed by Madan Mohan Malviya, Ambedkar and some other leaders as a means to end the fast that Gandhi was undertaking in jail as a protest against the decision by British Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald to give separate electorates to depressed classes for the election of members of provincial legislative assemblies in British India. * They finally agreed upon 148 seats.
