Today is the funeral of former Jharkhand Chief Minister and founder of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) Shibu Soren. Hemant Soren remembered his father before he was given a final farewell to Shibu Soren.
Hemant Soren wrote a post on social media remembering his father Shibu Soren. He said in this post that I am going through the most difficult days of my life. The father was not shared only from my head, the pillar of the soul of Jharkhand went away. I did not just call him Baba. He was my guide, my thoughts were the roots and there were shadows like the forest, which saved thousands of Jharkhandis from sun and injustice.
Hemant, in this post, while giving up his expressions, said that my Baba’s beginning was very simple. Born in a small house in Nemra village, where there was poverty, there was hunger but courage. He lost his father as a child. The exploitation of Zamindari gave him such a fire, which made him struggling all his life. I have seen them, driving a plow, sitting among the people. He did not just give speeches, won the grief of the people. In childhood, when I used to ask him- “Baba, why do you call you Dishom Guru? So he used to say smiling- son, I only understood his sorrow and made his fight. That title was not written in any book, nor was Parliament gave it.
Was emerged from the hearts of the people of Jharkhand.
He said that ‘Dishom’ means society, ‘Guru’ means the way shown the way and Baba did not just show us the way, taught us to walk. In childhood, I saw them just struggling, I saw competing with elders. I was afraid but Baba never scared. He used to say- “If standing against injustice is a crime, then I will be guilty again and again. Baba’s struggle cannot explain any book. He was in his sweat, in his voice, and his slippers covered with slippers. When the state of Jharkhand became the state, his dream was realized. But he has never considered power. Today is not Baba, but his voice is echoing within me. I learned to fight you, Baba, not to bow down. I learned to love you from Jharkhand without any selfishness. Now you are not among us, but you are in every footpath of Jharkhand. In the beat of every mandar, in the soil of every farm, you look into the eyes of every poor.
He said that what you dreamed, now it is my promise. I will not let Jharkhand bend, I will not let your name be erased. Your struggle will not be incomplete. Baba, now you take rest. You have fulfilled your religion. Now we have to walk. At your footsteps. Jharkhand will be your debtor. I, your son, will play your promise. Veer Shibu Zindabad – Jindabad, Zindabad, Dishom Guru should be immortal. Jai Jharkhand, Jai Jai Jharkhand.
Please tell that Shibu Soren died on Monday after a long illness. He was 81 years old and was struggling with kidney problem. He breathed his last at Gangaram Hospital in Delhi.
