Ram Charitra Rai Yadav
Indian politician

Ram Charitra Rai Yadav, alias Ram Chalitra Yadav was an Indian politician, freedom fighter, and social worker, known as the Gandhi of Sitamarhi. He was a member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly, representing the Sursand in Sitamarhi district, Bihar. He was the first MLA from the Sursand Assembly constituency. He served this position from 1952 to 1957 as an independent, after India's first general election (1951–52), and again from 1969 to 1980.
He was a veteran socialist leader and one of the prominent figures in Bihar politics during his era. On August 11, 1998, he became a martyr during a firing incident at the Sitamarhi Collectorate while protesting for the rights of the poor and demanding adequate relief for flood-affected people in Sitamarhi and other parts of North Bihar.
After his martyrdom, the politics of Bihar became very heated. According to the book Saptkranti's Samvad Jannayak Karpoori Thakur Smriti Granth, It is mentioned that "It is written in the dictionary, India that is Bharat. A handful of people in the country live in India, and the masses live in Bharat. He spoke on this in detail and said a very deep thing that our country has become independent, but we have not gained real freedom because the country is facing economic, social, and political problems.

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q121834292. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1952, 1957, 1951 and 1969.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
