Which prominent tribal icon and former three-time chief minister of Jharkhand was officially conferred with the Padma Bhushan award posthumously in 2026?
Shri Shibu Soren
Shibu Soren, known as Dishom Guru, was the Santhal tribal leader who founded the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, led the movement for a separate Jharkhand and served three terms as Chief Minister of the state.
He died in August 2025, so the Padma Bhushan announced for him in 2026 was conferred posthumously, which is the detail the question turns on.
Madhu Koda and Babulal Marandi each held the office of Chief Minister of Jharkhand once, while Arjun Munda, though also a tribal leader and a three-time Chief Minister, is living, so a posthumous award in 2026 could not have been conferred on him.
Hence, the answer is Shri Shibu Soren.
