Revision as of 15:34, 4 August 2008
Dharti Pakad (also spelt "Dharti Pakar" and "Dharti Pakkad" and transcribed as "Dhartipakad" and "Dhartipakar"), literally Dharti (Earth) and Pakad (Grasp) - "one who clings on", is the nickname of at least three persons in India who unsuccessfully contested several elections against top political leaders.
A satirical television show looking at electoral politics was named Dharti Pakad, after 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 unsuccessfully, but not necessarily known by the sobriquet.
