Life and times of
Droupadi Murmu who is set to become India’s 16th President. A photograph I saw on the wall of her house in Rairangpur, Mayurbhanj, Orissa.
In her college days. Back row. Standing first from right.
Exclusive: Droupadi ji with her mother and brother. Both passed away in 2013,weeks after her son Shipun’s death in a road accident.
Exclusive: Droupadi Murmu is likely to be elected. 1- Her birthplace Uperbeda. 2-Droupadi Murmu’s family has renovated the mud house. 3- Kitchen inside her house.
Her younger brother Tarini Murmu says, ‘unko room mil jaega,fir main jaunga.’
When I asked if he will stay with sister Droupadi Murmu in Delhi if she becomes president of India,he says, ‘once she gets her house, I will follow!’ I met him in Rairangpur. #PresidentialElections2022

Saraswati Tudu, close relative of to likely-be -president Droupadi Murmu took me to visit Jhakhira, kind of Santhal tribe’s temple where Murmu ji offers prayer.
Santhals have sophisticated belief to worship’Nature’
While covering Droupadi Murmu’s story touching moment was this in neighbourhood of her birthplace in Uperbeda:In @ThePrintIndia story i mentioned KamlaBimla temple.Fable is that Kamla-Bimla are betis of Budhiyarana hill.The Murmu family believes #DroupadiMurmu is blessed by betis
Rashtrapati Bhavan is having 320 plus bedroom.Quite regal but colonial.Reminds us of the Angrez era and society of feudal lords. #DroupadiMurmu’s shift to RB may give her a culture shock.Her current residence is simple n warmly if compared to even a guest bedroom (last pic)of RB
Droupadi Murmu is President of India. Congratulations! Good feel that a tribal, educated,
mild- mannered,yoga n meditation practitioner,vegetarian and the woman having administrative experiences will be chief of India’s defence services.
#DroupadiMurmu will be 15 th president.
Stand corrected.
