Babu Jharkhande Rai was an Indian Communist politician. He belonged to Bhumihar Brahmin community and was an eminent leader and one of the pillars of the Communist Party of India in Purvanchal, Uttar Pradesh.[1] He was elected to the 4th Lok Sabha, 5th Lok Sabha and 7th Lok Sabha in 1967, 1971 and 1980 from Ghosi constituency. He held the seat till he died on 17 March 1984.[1] Till the late 1980s, the communist movement in eastern U.P. was a major force to reckon with.[1][2] It drew wide support from a largely agrarian society, in which neither religion nor caste was a factor[1] and Jharkhande Rai represented the aspirations of the toiling masses.
