Ramkisoen Dewdat Oedayrajsing Varma
Ramkisoen Dewdat Oedayrajsing Varma (Nieuw Nickerie, March 1907) was in the 1950s a member of the Surinamese parliament for the VHP.
He started learning to become a teacher at a primary school but did not finish it. He became a priest at the Arya Samay and a trader.[1] In 1950 he officially became an interpreter of Hindustani languages in the Nickerie District[2] and he was also chairman of the Van Drimmelenpolder water board. At the 1951 Surinamese general election Oedayrajsing Varma was elected in the Nickerie District to become a member of the Estates of Suriname. Four years later he was reelected. In April 1958 Oedayrajsing Varma and VHP member Soekdew Mungra supported a vote of confidence in the Ferrier government, although the VHP was at that moment an opposition party. As a result Ferrier could stay in power a little longer.[3] At the snap election a few months later he was no longer a VHP candidate.
