Members of the Soren family

The Soren family is one of the most influential political families in Jharkhand, with a strong legacy in the state's politics, particularly through the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). The family has played a crucial role in the state's tribal and regional political movements.

Shibu Soren, the patriarch of the family, was a veteran politician and the founder of JMM. He had served as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand three times and had also been a Union Minister in the Central Government.[1] He had been a key figure in the movement for the creation of Jharkhand as a separate state.[2] His son, Hemant Soren, has carried forward his political legacy and has served multiple terms as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand.[3] Under his leadership, JMM has remained a dominant force in the state's politics.
