Short Note

Solution

Separate electorates refer to the voting population of the country, divided into different electorates based on factors like religion, caste, occupation, etc. For example, it meant that Muslim voters could elect Muslim representatives. The introduction of separate electorates sounded the death knell of national unity. It was the first definite step on the road to the partition of India.
