The name Susarumso E. Jared is a household name among Chamba communities both at home and in the diaspora. His popularity and acceptability among his people stem from his unparalleled generosity, humility, and contributions to the socio-economic life of his people and national development. He is soft-spoken and comes from a humble background with a towering history of community concerns. He can easily be mistaken for clergy by any subtle observer during first or shallow acquaintance. Perhaps his divinely acquired personality and successes may be a product of his early life story bedraggled with revelations of trials, frustrations, perseverance, and repressions. He has weathered fatal storms of life’s struggles and refuses to give up to attain success. His close associates have testified to his humble attributes and the secrets to the attainment of success in his lifetime. Many who have encountered him will always have a story to tell. They have always smiled at home with pleasant and unforgettable memories that stand the test of time. He has remained a source of inspiration to many, a bridge builder, and a community ICON who has persistently promoted the well-being and success of his people. His impressive attainment in life had never blinded his eyes from the reality of sustainable class equality and mutual relationship. This has been his driving force for accommodation, tolerance, and respect for human dignity. To him, tribe or religious differences have never been a factor or basis to explore the essence of humanity and relationships but takes human differences to recreate his society.
