Answer
(II) is the reason for (I)
Explanation — Statement (I) is true because the Communal Award announced by Ramsay Macdonald in 1932 gave separate representation to the Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Indian Christians and the Depressed Classes.
Statement (II) is also true. The Poona Pact provided reserved seats for the Depressed Classes in the Provincial Legislatures within the general electorate.
This was done after Gandhiji opposed separate representation for the Depressed Classes, as it would divide Hindu society.
Therefore, Statement (II) is the reason for (I).
