Bhimdatta Panta (Nepali: भिमदत्त पन्त) was a farmer, revolutionary leader and a martyr from Dadeldhura District of Nepal. He is known for raising a protest in favour of peasants and oppressed farmers in the Far-Western Region of Nepal by the landlord's "elite Thakuris". He was martyred with the charges of treason by local elites in 1953 A.D, aged 27. The town Bhim Datta Municipality in Kanchanpur district is named after him (until 2008 the town was named Mahendranagar). A non-profit organization was named by two farmers leaders, Dr. Dev Dhawal and Bhimdatta Panta, as Dev Dhawal and Bhim Datta Foundation for Farmers Right and Respect.[1]
