Brajkishore Prasad (1877–1946) was a lawyer inspired by Mohandas Gandhi during the Indian Independence Movement.
Born in a Kayastha family in Srinagar, Siwan district, Prasad gained his early education in Chhapra and Patna before moving to Presidency College in Calcutta, where he completed his legal training.
Gandhi was so impressed by Prasad's dedication that he set aside a full chapter on him in his autobiographical book, The Story of My Experiments with Truth, called "The Gentle Bihari".
[citation needed] For the last ten years of his life he was severely infirmed, and died in 1946.
