Ram Charitra Rai Yadav was an Indian politician,activist,social worker,and freedom fighter. He was a member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly,representing the Sursand constituency in Sitamarhi district,Bihar.

He was a veteran socialist leader and one of the prominent figures in Bihar politics during his era. He became a martyr on August 11,1998,sacrificing his life in a firing incident at Sitamarhi collectorate while advocating for the rights of the poor and protesting against neglect in providing relief during a movement demanding adequate relief for flood-affected survivors,as this tragic event affected several 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,after his martyrdom,former Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur also mentioned his name in a meeting at Sitamarhi Gandhi Maidan and said,"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 got real freedom because the country is facing economic,social and economic problems. Social and cultural freedom has not been achieved. I fully realized this deep thing when in 1998,there was police firing on the meeting being held after the demonstration at Sitamarhi Collectorate gate,in which former MLA Ram Charitra Rai along with Dr. Ayub,Mahant Mandal were present.,Rampari Devi and Munif Nadaf died".

Several prominent leaders,including the then Railway Minister Nitish Kumar and Sharad Yadav,and other notable leaders from Bihar and across India,condemned the incident and expressed their condolences. They also visited his house for his funeral. [11] [12] [13] [14]
