Ram Chandra Poudyal (1944–2024),[1] commonly known as R.C. Poudyal, was an Indian politician from the state of Sikkim. He has played a significant role in the state's political landscape, particularly in the context of Sikkim's integration into the Indian Union and the subsequent constitutional and legal developments. He was best known for founding and leading the Rising Sun Party (RSP), a political party active in the late 1980s.[2]
