Veteran tribal leader and JMM co-founder Shibu Soren will be laid to rest with full state honours in his ancestral village Nemra, Ramgarh district.

Mortal remains of Shibu Soren to be laid to rest at ancestral village with full state honours

Veteran tribal leader and JMM co-founder Shibu Soren will be laid to rest with full state honours in his ancestral village Nemra, Ramgarh district.

The mortal remains of veteran tribal leader and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) co-founder Shibu Soren, fondly known as 'Dishom Guru', will be laid to rest with full state honours at his ancestral village Nemra in Ramgarh district on Tuesday, officials said.
Guruji, as he was popularly known, breathed his last at a private hospital in Delhi on Monday and tall political figures and leaders like President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid homage to the departed soul there.
Preparations are in full swing for the last rites of the former chief minister and Rajya Sabha MP at his native place in Jharkhand's Ramgarh district, around 70 km from the state's capital Ranchi, the officials said.
Soren, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha co-founder, who was undergoing treatment at the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi for over a month for kidney-related problems, died at the age of 81.
His last rites will be performed on Tuesday afternoon.
Senior administrative officials, including Ramgarh deputy commissioner and the SP, visited Nemra to take stock of the preparations.
Special traffic arrangements have been made for the funeral as several political leaders, including Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and others are likely to participate.
Meanwhile, a pall of gloom has descended on Nemra village after Guruji's demise.
Before his last rites, his body will be kept at the Jharkhand Assembly premises for people to pay their last respects at about 9 am.
His demise marks the end of a defining political era, one that brought the tribal movement from the grassroots of Jharkhand to the forefront of national politics.
Shibu Soren had been the leader of the JMM for the past 38 years.
As a mark of respect, the Jharkhand government declared a three-day state mourning till August 6.
Most of the schools in Jharkhand are closed on Tuesday, with many ensuring special prayers for peace to the departed soul.
Rajya Sabha proceedings were also adjourned for the day on Monday as a mark of respect, following the death of sitting MP Shibu Soren.
The ongoing monsoon session of the Jharkhand Assembly, which began on August 1, was adjourned sine die following the announcement of his death.
Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahato said Soren's passing was an irreparable loss not only to Jharkhand but to the entire nation.
"He was known for his fight for the poor," Mahato had said, expressing grief on behalf of the House.
Shibu Soren's mortal remains were flown to Ranchi in a special aircraft from Delhi.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren, his legislator wife Kalpana Soren, and MLA brother Basant Soren also returned to Jharkhand.
A flower-decked open carriage carried the mortal remains from the airport to Soren's Morabadi residence in Ranchi, with the chief minister and his legislator brother seated beside his father's body throughout the procession.
CM Soren's wife was seen seated in the front of the vehicle, and remarked, "Everything has become desolate...Your struggle, your love, your convictions - this daughter of yours will never forget."

Shibu Soren: The End of an Era in Tribal Politics

Legacy of Shibu Soren: Tribal Icon

Veteran tribal leader and JMM founder Shibu Soren dies at 81. Known as 'Dishom Guru', he was pivotal in the formation of Jharkhand and tribal rights movement.

Shibu Soren, the veteran tribal leader who played a key role in Jharkhand's creation and founded the JMM, leaves behind a legacy that reshaped the country's politics.
The death of 81-year-old Soren marks the end of a political era that saw tribal movement rise to national prominence.
Born on January 11, 1944, in Ramgarh district's Nemra village (then in Bihar, now in Jharkhand), Soren, who was popularly known as 'Dishom Guru' (leader of the land) and patriarch of JMM, is one of the most enduring political figures in the country's tribal and regional political landscape.
His political life was defined by continuous advocacy for the rights for tribals.
According to Soren's family, his early life was marked by personal tragedy and deep socio-economic struggles.
Soren was 15 years old when his father, Shobaran Soren, was allegedly killed by moneylenders in Lukaiyatand forest, some 16 km from Gola block headquarters on November 27, 1957. This left a deep impact on him and became a catalyst for his future political activism.
In 1973, Soren co-founded the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) along with Bengali Marxist trade unionist AK Roy and Kurmi-Mahto leader Binod Bihari Mahto during a public meeting at Golf Ground Dhanbad.
The JMM soon became the primary political voice for the demand for a separate tribal state and got support across the Chotanagpur and Santhal Pargana regions.
Soren&rsquo;s grassroots mobilisation against feudal exploitation is said to have shaped him into a tribal icon.
After decades of agitation, steered by him and others, the demand for a separate state was finally fulfilled with the formation of Jharkhand on November 15, 2000.
Soren&rsquo;s influence was not confined to state politics.
He was elected several times to the Lower House from Dumka &ndash; the eighth time between May 2014-2019 as member of the 16th Lok Sabha. He was elected to the Rajya Sabha in June 2020.
As a key figure in the UPA government, he served as Union Coal Minister from May 23 to July 24, 2004; November 27, 2004 to March 2, 2005; and January 29 to November 2006.
However, his ministerial stints at the Centre were overshadowed by serious legal challenges.
In July 2004, an arrest warrant was issued against him in connection with the 1975 Chirudih massacre case, in which he was named the main accused in the killing of 11 people.
He went underground briefly before being arrested.
After spending time in judicial custody, he was granted bail in September 2004 and re-inducted into the Union Cabinet in November.
Later, a court in March 2008 absolved him of all charges.
His legal woes didn&rsquo;t end there.
On November 28, 2006, Soren, along with others, was convicted in the sensational 1994 kidnapping and murder case of his former personal secretary, Shashinath Jha.
The CBI alleged that Jha was murdered in Ranchi because he possessed knowledge about a political payoff deal between the Congress and JMM during a no-confidence motion against the Narasimha Rao government in 1993.
The case drew nationwide attention, though Soren later successfully appealed the conviction.
The Supreme Court in April 2018 upheld Soren&rsquo;s acquittal in the case.
Despite these controversies, Soren remained a towering figure in Jharkhand&rsquo;s political sphere.
He served as Chief Minister of Jharkhand three times &mdash; in March 2005 (for just 10 days from March 2 to March 11), August 27, 2008 to January 12, 2009, and from December 30, 2009 to May 31, 2010.
Each term was short-lived due to the fragile nature of coalition politics in the state.
In June 2007, Soren survived an assassination attempt when bombs were hurled at his convoy near Dumaria village in Deoghar district while he was being escorted to jail in Dumka, after appearing in a court in Giridih, underlining the high stakes and volatile environment surrounding his political life.
Yet, his political dominance in Jharkhand politics endured, both through his personal appeal and through his party, which he continues to lead as founding patron.
Soren served as the JMM&rsquo;s chief for 38 years until April 2025, when he was made the party&rsquo;s founding patron. His son, Hemant Soren, who had served as executive president, was elected JMM president.
The party is currently a member of the opposition INDIA bloc at the national level.
Shibu Soren's personal life has also been closely tied to his political narrative.
He is survived by wife Roopi Soren, three sons and daughter Anjani, who is the party&rsquo;s Odisha unit head.
His elder son Durga Soren died in May 2009.
The other son Hemant Soren, has carried forward the family&rsquo;s political legacy and currently serves as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand, having held the position across multiple terms.
His youngest son Basant Soren is a legislator.
For many in Jharkhand, Shibu Soren remains a symbol of their long-fought struggle for identity and self-rule&mdash;a legacy that continues through the next generation.

"He was admitted here recently, so we came to see him. His health issues are currently being examined," Hemant Soren had said on June 24 when his father was admitted to the hospital in the national capital.
Last week, Hemant Soren had said that Shibu Soren had fought several battles and he would win his health battle too.
Shibu Soren had been the leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha for the past 38 years and is recognised as the party's founding patron.
