  2. As a result of the Second Round Table Conference, in August 1932, the then Prime Minister of Britain Ramsay MacDonald gave his 'award' known as the Communal Award. According to it, separate representation was to be provided for the Lower Caste, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Indian Christians and Anglo Indians.The Untouchables were assigned a number of seats to be filled by election from special constituencies in which voters belonging to the Untouchables only could vote. The Award was highly controversial and opposed by Mahatma Gandhi, and fasted in protest against it. Communal Award was supported by many among the minority communities, most notably the Untouchable leader,Dr.B.R.Ambedkar.
