Why is the Communal Award linked with both British mediation and Indian social question?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It decided separate representation and intensified debate on depressed class representation

The direct answer is A: the Award fixed separate representation and intensified debate about representation of the Depressed Classes. The Communal Award was announced by British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald in 1932. It provided separate electorates for several communities and also proposed separate electorates for the Depressed Classes. Mahatma Gandhi opposed the latter and fasted in Yerwada Jail. The resulting negotiations produced the Poona Pact, which replaced separate electorates for the Depressed Classes with reserved seats in joint electorates. Option A is correct. B is wrong because the Award did not abolish the Salt Tax. C is wrong because the INA had a different wartime history. D is wrong because the Award did not merge princely states. Remember: Communal Award—representation dispute; Poona Pact—its major political consequence.
