Ramkamal Das listed as the father of 48 voters in Varanasi under Guru-Shishya Tradition
A picture of an election voter list is going viral on social media. It is being claimed that according to this Election Commission data, a man named Ramkamal Das in Uttar Pradesh has 43 sons who all live in the same house. Among them, 13 sons were born at the same time, and all of them are 37 years old.
Handle Sandeep Yadav stated, “Ram Kamal Das ji of Uttar Pradesh lives in his house with 43 sons! 13 of his sons were born at the same time, all of them are 37 years old. Apart from this, three sons were born in three or four times, whose ages are 35, 36 and 47 years respectively. Of the remaining sons, some are 48 years old, one or two are 49 years old and some are between 37 and 49 years old! The hard-working, impartial and honest Election Commission of India is clarifying this matter.” (archived link)
Handle @/Nehr_who wrote, “According to Election commission’s data this man ‘Ramkamal Das’ has as many as 43 sons all living in the same house. Don’t seek any logic. 13 of those sons were all born in the same year. That’s how authentic ECI is.”
Apurva Bhardwaj asserted, “Meet the great man of Uttar Pradesh, Ram Kamal Das Ji. He lives in his house with his 43 sons! Till now you must have seen fathers with 2-4 or maximum 10 children, but his story leaves even mythological stories behind. His 13 sons were born together – all 37 years old! Some are 35, 36 and even 47 years old! Some of the rest are 48-49 years old! And all this has not been proved by DNA test, but has been certified by the impartial, hardworking and honest Election Commission of India.”
Another handle claimed that The name should be in the Guinness Book, not in the voter list, not of Raj Kamal Das but of the Election Commission.”

In our fact-checking process, we searched Google using relevant keywords related to this matter and found a report from ETV Bharat dated May 4, 2023. In this report, we also found a copy of the voter list released by the Election Commission, which has gone viral. This list belongs to Varanasi’s Ward No. 51, where one individual has been listed as the father of 48 voters. This individual is Swami Ramkamal Das Vedanti is the Mahant of Ram Janki Math in Khojwa.
According to the article, Swami Ram Kamal Das’s secretary stated that their ashram follows the Guru-Shishya (teacher-disciple) tradition. Because of this, the children studying at the ashram consider their Guru as their father. This is why, in the voter list, the names of the students who studied at the ashram have Swami Ram Kamal Das listed as their father.
Apart from this, Jagran’s report on this unique voter list of Varanasi also mentions the Guru-Shishya tradition. Math head Rambharat Shastri stated that after joining the Guru-Shishya tradition, the disciples’ names are changed, and the Guru’s name is recorded in place of the father’s name.
Earlier, 150 people had registered Swami Ji’s name as their father, but now this number has reduced to 48.
In conclusion, the Election Commission’s voter list, where the name of Ram Kamal Das is mentioned as the father of 48 people, is being circulated with a misleading claim. Ram Kamal Das is a religious guru and is unmarried. His ashram follows the Guru-Shishya tradition, due to which the children studying there list Ram Kamal Das’s name in place of their father’s.
The names appearing in the voter list, where Swami Ji’s name is mentioned in the father’s section, all belong to his disciples.
