- Following the Second Round Table Conference, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, who represented the Dalits, called for separate electorates.
- Ramsay McDonald declared the communal prize, which included separate electorates for Dalits.
- However, Gandhi rejected this because the proclamation was based on caste, which would jeopardize the country's integration.
