Early life and Political Career
[edit]Banshidhar Brajwasi hails from the Damuchak, Marwan block of Muzaffarpur district, Bihar. He began his professional career as a teacher in Muzaffarpur, Bihar at the Utkrisht Madhya Vidyalaya in Raksaa Purvi, Marwan. He joined the teaching profession in 2005.[8]
Brajwasi faced considerable challenges during his career. He was suspended and later dismissed from his teaching position following conflicts with higher authorities. This dismissal, rather than discouraging him, strengthened his determination to advocate for teachers' rights and push for educational reforms.[9][10]
His experiences in the education sector and activism culminated in his recent electoral success as an independent candidate in the Bihar Legislative Council bypolls, where he defeated candidates from established parties like RJD and JD(U).[11][12]
