The Poona Pact, signed in 1932 between Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, was a pivotal moment that led Gandhi to include the upliftment of 'Harijans' in his political and social agenda. Following the pact, Gandhi intensified his efforts against untouchability and founded the Harijan Sevak Sangh to promote the welfare of the depressed classes.
