Shiv Naresh Dubey (Father)
Bindeshwari Dubey (14 January 1921 – 20 January 1993) was a freedom fighter, a veteran trade unionist and an able administrator who served as Chief Minister of Bihar between 25 March 1985 and 14 February 1988. He is popularly known as 'Majdoor Maseeha' (a god for labour class) among the people. People also used to call him 'Baba'.
Dubey was involved in the nationalisation of Indian collieries, especially in the Chhotanagpur region that was then a part of Bihar (now Jharkhand). He held the portfolios of Law, Justice and Labour in the Union Council of Ministers in Rajiv Gandhi's cabinet. Earlier, he had held offices at state level as Minister of Education, Transport and Health. He was a member of the Seventh Lok Sabha between 1980 and 1984, representing the Giridih constituency in Bihar. He was a member of the Rajya Sabha from 1988 until his death. Earlier he had been a member of Bihar Legislative Assembly during 1952-57, 1962–77 and 1985-88. He had also been a National as well as State President of INTUC besides being a Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee President.
Bindeshwari Dubey was the second of four sons born to a humble farming family in the village of Mahuaon, Bhojpur, Bihar. His father, Shiv Naresh Dubey, was a peasant and despite showing promise in school, Dubey's education was not considered important. This caused him to run away to Patna, where he lived with his maternal uncle and continued his studies at St. Michael High School, Patna. After his matriculation he worked on night-shifts in a factory as well as continuing to offer tuition to people as he had done during his school days in order to fund his education. He was eventually offered a place at the engineering college (now National Institute of technology, Patna) in Patna.
Dubey left his engineering studies to join the freedom movement. He has also participated in Quit India Movement in 1942. He was a part of the famous Young Turks of Bihar Congress during the independence movement along with Bhagwat Jha Azad, Chandrashekhar Singh, Satendra Narayan Sinha, Kedar Pandey, Abdul Ghafoor all future chief ministers and Sitaram Kesri, future national president of Indian National Congress He encouraged members of his village to join the movement for independence of India and was among a group who set fire to the railway station at Patna, which resulted in him having to escape the attentions of the police by moving to Bermo, where he eventually got a job in a private colliery.
