Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday (January 11, 2026) remembered the late Dishom Guru Shibu Soren on his 82nd birth anniversary in an emotional message on social media platform X.
Later, Mr. Soren along with his wife, MLA Kalpana Soren, visited “Cheshire Home” in Ranchi and spent time with children with disabilities.
“For me, this is not merely the birthday of a great leader, but the memory of that father who taught me the art of living life, taught me to struggle, and most importantly, taught me to remain firm on my dignity, values, and truth without ever bowing down,” Mr. Soren wrote in the post on Sunday.
He further said, “Baba never bowed his head before injustice throughout his entire life. He sacrificed everything for the protection of water, forests, land, and tribal identity. I have seen him tired many times, but never broken. That unbreakable willpower and determination of his lives is within me even today.”
Mr. Soren asserted, “As a son, I learned simplicity from him, learned the courage to never turn my back on difficulties, and learned to always regard power as a means of public service. Baba, I will keep walking on the path you showed, on the ideals you gave, for my entire life, no matter how many challenges may come. Jai Jharkhand! Jai Dishom Guru! May your memory remain immortal forever.”
