Abstract:: Abstract:Since the ancient time Indian Hindu society was mainly divided into four castes Brahmin
Kshatriya, Vaisya and Sudra, one of which was the deprived caste namely the Shudras, they are most
unprivileged in economic, social, religious and political aspects. To uplift their conditions by the many
social reformers like Mahatma Kabir, Chaitanya, Pandita Ramabai, Jyotirao Phule and others raise the
issue in society for their upliftment. But their condition remains the same. After the British came to India,
educational opportunities were opened for this particular group of people. This paves the way for the
emergence of leadership among themselves, one such leader was Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, who himself was
untouchable by birth and fought for the licitrights of this community. However, during the British colonial
rule when three round table conference (1931-1932) ware held in London to discuss thevarious issue of
participation of all communities in future Indian administration and political participation. In fact, in this
paper I want to show that in Poona pact what is the relevance of Gandhi and Ambedkar.
