First Round Table Conference was held during 12 Nov 1930 – 13 January 1931 at London. Dr #BabaSahebAmbedkar, during his presentation in 1931 round table conference, described the Indian society as divided in three distinct sections — Hindus, Muslims & the depressed classes.
Dr #BabaSahebAmbedkar further stated that India can be truly independent only if these classes elect their own representatives for taking part in the process of government. #DrAmbedkar, thus, juxtaposed the class concept on caste division in India.
In the first round table conference Dr #BabaSahebAmbedkar broadly categorized SC/ST as depressed class, as almost all of them are in the same economic and social situation.He, therefore, demanded and got separate electorate for the depressed classes in 1930s.
