Explanation

In August 1932, Ramsay MacDonald, the then British Prime Minister, announced a scheme of representation of the minorities, which came to be known as the Communal Award. The Award not only continued separate electorates for the Muslims, Sikhs, Indian Christians, Anglo-Indians and Europeans, but also extended it to the depressed classes (scheduled castes).

However, the Government of India Act, 1935 had further extended the principle of communal representation by providing separate electorates for the depressed classes (scheduled castes), women and labour (workers).
