Dharti Pakad (also spelt Dharti Pakar and Dharti Pakkad; transcribed as Dhartipakad and Dhartipakar as well) (Etymology: Dharti = Earth; Pakad= Grasp; One who clings on) is the nickname of at least three persons in India who contested unsuccessfully in several elections against top political leaders. A satirical television show looking at the electoral politics was named Dharti Pakad, after a man named Kaka Joginder Singh whose nickname was Dharti Pakad. Mohan Lal, a cloth merchant from Bhopal also had the nickname of Dharti Pakad for contesting elections against five different Prime Ministers and losing the deposit in all these elections . Nagarmal Bajoria is also known by the nick name of Dharti Pakad ; he contested from over 278 constituencies and used donkeys for campaigning in an election . There are others who have contested several elections (see this for example) unsuccessfully, but not necessarily known by the sobriquet.
