Mahatma Gandhi - Was Mahatma Gandhi responsible for the present day never ending Reservation Quota?

Ambedkar declared that freedom of India does not mean freedom to low caste so he wanted separate electorate in which only low caste would elect their own representatives as MP/MLA . When Gandhi learnt this , he opposed Ambedkar and went on a fast till death. When his condition became worse , people persuaded Ambedkar to take back his demand and so Poona pact was signed and Gandhi gave up his fast ,but in lieu, Ambedkar made Gandhi to accept reservations for dalits & tribals, which Gandhi agreed.
