Ramanand Dass was a leader of the Dera Sach Khand, a follower of Ravidas.
His name came to international attention when he was murdered at the age of 57 in a 24 May 2009 attack on the Guru Ravidass Temple in Austria. Rama Nand suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died in hospital early on 25 May 2009.[1] The attack triggered rioting across much of Northern India. He was cremated with full state honors on 4 June 2009, in Ballan, India.
