Ramsay MacDonald, British Prime Minister, announced the Communal Award on August 4, 1932. This award provided separate electorates for depressed classes, Muslims, Sikhs, and others. The year 1932 is historically correct - it was a controversial decision that led to Gandhi's fast unto death and the subsequent Poona Pact. The other years (1931, 1933, 1934) are incorrect.
