Pushpa Kamal Dahal ((ネパール語:पुष्पकमल दाहाल)); born Chhabilal Dahal on 11 December 1954, commonly known as Prachanda ((ネパール語:प्रचण्ड) (:pɾətsəɳɖə))) is a Nepalese politician and chairman of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (UCPNM). He led a guerrilla war against the government and later served as Prime Minister of Nepal from 2008 to 2009. Prachanda led the CPN (M) as it launched a communist insurgency on 13 February 1996. In the ensuing civil war, more than 17,000 Nepalese died. Ultimately elections were held in 2008 and the CPN (M) emerged as the strongest party. The Constituent Assembly of Nepal elected Prachanda as Prime Minister in August 2008.〔("Ex-rebels' chief chosen as Nepal's new PM" ), Associated Press (''International Herald Tribune''), 15 August 2008.〕 Prachanda resigned as Prime Minister on 4 May 2009 after his attempt to sack the army chief, General Rookmangud Katawal, was opposed by President Ram Baran Yadav. ==Personal life and early career== Prachanda was born in Dhikur Pokhari, a village in Kaski District,〔("Profile: Prachanda, from commander to prime minister." ) Chinaview.cn, 15 August 2008〕 some west of Nepal's capital Kathmandu.〔(Nepali PM Prachanda Sworn In ). English.cri.cn. Retrieved 3 September 2011.〕〔. news.indiainfo.com. 13 September 2008〕〔(Prachanda’s family calls ). Nepali Times. Retrieved 3 September 2011.〕 Prachanda spent much of his childhood and youth in Chitwan District. He received a diploma of science in agriculture (ISc-Ag) from Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS) in Rampur, Chitwan, and was once employed at a rural development project sponsored by USAID: the project site was Jajarkot.〔Somini Sengupta, and he was also a high school teacher in Aarught of Gorkha district.("Where Maoists Still Matter," ) ''New York Times,'' 30 October 2005〕 Prachanda's brother, Dr. Ganga Ram Dahal, graduated from the University of Reading, UK and is currently a Research Scientist at 'Rights to Resources International' based in Bangkok. Witnessing severe poverty among Nepalis since his youth, Prachanda was drawn to leftist political parties. He joined the underground Communist Party of Nepal (Fourth Convention) in 1981.〔() 〕 He became general secretary (party leader) of the Communist Party of Nepal (Mashal) in 1989. After several iterations, this party became the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). Prachanda lived in secret, even after the restoration of democracy in 1990. A little-known figure until then, he controlled the clandestine wing of the party, while Baburam Bhattarai represented the United People's Front in parliament. A biography written by Anirban Roy, the ex-Nepal correspondent of the Hindustan Times, covers Prachanda's 25 years living underground〔Anirban Roy (2008) Prachanda: The Unknown Revolutionary. (Kathmandu: Mandala Book Point).〕 and has been translated into Nepali as ''Prachanda: Ek Agyat Bidhrohi''. Anirban Roy's book is also getting translated into Hindi and Assamese. Since 1996 Prachanda has been internationally known as the leader of the CPN (M), presiding over its military and political wings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prachanda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
