The Poona Pact forced Dalits into alliances with hostile political forces

Evidence

It is easy to dismiss what Dhasal did as an unforgivable compromise with fascists. However, in parliamentary politics, after the Poona Pact—rather because of the Poona Pact—Dalits as a political constituency have had to make alliances with those whose interests are hostile to their own. For Dalits, as we have seen, the distance between the Hindu ‘right’ and the Hindu ‘left’ is not as great as it might appear to be to others. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 435
