Om Gurung (11 February 1953 – 17 October 2022; also known as Om Prasad Gurung) was a Nepalese sociologist.
Education
Gurung obtained his PhD from Cornell University in 1996. His dissertation was titled Customary systems of natural resource management among Tarami Magars of Western Nepal.[1]
Career
He was head of the Central Department of Sociology/Anthropology of the Tribhuvan University of Nepal. He also served as the chairman of the Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN)—the umbrella organization of various Indigenous groups in the country—and has been actively involved in indigenous identity politics.[2][3]
Death
At one stage, he was suffering from severe kidney failure. Doctors suggested transplanting his kidney as soon as possible but at first there was a lack of potential compatible donor.[4] Then it was transplanted about a decade ago. Gurung died from cancer in Lalitpur District, Nepal, on 17 October 2022, at the age of 69.[5]
