'''Harihar Narayan Prabhakar''' is an [[India]]n politician. He has represented the [[Dhanwar, Giridih|Dhanwar]] Legislative Assembly seat, winning elections on the tickets of three different parties.

Prabhakar became an activist of the [[Communist Party of India]] (CPI) in 1952.<ref name="tr"/> He studied at [[Ranchi University]], obtaining [[Master of Arts]] and [[LLB]] degrees. He graduated from the university in 1960. As a private candidate, he obtained his master's degree in History in 1964.<ref name="tr">Mishra, S. N., L. M. Prasad, and Kushal Sharma.

In 1964, he was appointed headmaster of the Jaridih High School (near Dhanwar). In 1967 he left the CPI. Two years later he joined the [[Bharatiya Jan Sangh]]. In 1972, he became a full-time political worker as the district organising secretary of the party in [[Giridih District]]. In the same year he contested the Dhanwar Legislative Assembly seat, as a candidate of Bharatiya Jan Sangh.<ref name="tr"/> He finished in third position in the constituency.<ref name="tr"/>

By 1977, Bharatiya Jan Sangh had merged into the [[Janata Party]]. Prabhakar contested the 1977 Bihar Legislative Assembly election as the Janata Party candidate, winning the Dhanwar seat. He was, however, defeated in the 1980 election. (as a [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] candidate). He contested a 1981 by-poll in the neighbouring Giridih Legislative Assembly constituency (on a BJP ticket). However, in the Giridih constituency he was largely unknown to the voters.<ref name="tr"/> Moreover, he received little help from the local BJP organisation (which was dominated by [[Mahuri]] caste and distrusted Prabhakar as a [[Bhumihar]] candidate imposed upon them) in the campaign.<ref>Mishra, S. N., L. M. Prasad, and Kushal Sharma. ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=nQoRXtPsoSwC&pg=PA93 Tribal Voting Behaviour: A Study of Bihar Tribes]''. New Delhi: Concept Pub.
