Jairam Kumar Mahato popularly known as "Tiger Jairam Mahto" was born in Dhanbad district’s Maantand village in 1995. His father was an active member in the movement for statehood for Jharkhand.[1]

History

[edit]

Jairam first came into the limelight in 2022 for launching a movement in the state after languages considered to be from outside Jharkhand like Bhojpuri, Magahi and Angika were included in the list of regional languages for state-level examinations in 11 districts. He led the protests with the demand that only the local language should be promoted. He also demanded people of Jharkhand should get the jobs in Jharkhand, and no one from the other State should be allowed.[1] He has also founded the Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha[2]
