Rabindra Nath Sharma (Nepali: रविन्द्रनाथ शर्मा) (died 22 November 2008[1]) was a Nepalese politician, leader of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party[2] and Minister of Finance of Nepal from 1997 to 1998.
[3] Sharma was one of the few Nepali leaders that continued to advocate for a Hindu constitutional monarchy after the Parliament scrapped the Kings major powers in June 2006.
His advocacy provided a much-needed backbone to those calling for a Hindu state under a constitutional monarchy at a time when the communists were engaged in political and institutional capture.
For this advocacy for a Hindu constitutional monarchy and against growing Christian proselytization, goons of the CPN-Maoists attacked Sharma and his followers in Bhitamode, Nepal and then Pokhara.
[6] In 2009, a few months after Sharma's death, the Unified Maoists-affiliated All Nepal Peasants' Organisation-Revolutionary (ANPO-R) attacked and seized is land in Nawalparasi.
