I am not sure Bauls should be referred to as Hindus. -ppm
The first song seems to me to be a Rabindra Sangeet. --ppm 23:32, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Revision.
I would like to rework/rewrite this article entirely.
Reason: With all due respect to previous contributors, it looks like a bit of a haphazard, brief, rough draft lacking sufficient interest or attention from them, failing to capture the basics or the spirit. [NO offence intended to anybody!]
As a Baul enthusiast, I would like to give it a shot. If you don't like it, it can always be reverted back to the previous state, or perfected further by others.
What do you think? Does it need a major overhaul ?
Any objection/support ?

- Rather than going after the whole article, a better way to start from scratch would be to work on a temp page first. Why don't you start working in Baul/Temp. We can see what type of overhaul you are proposing, and later merge your content from there into this article. Thanks. --Ragib 04:07, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

- >> After a 2nd reading, I've revised my opinion about the existing article, a little bit. It's not bad , simply put, it's too brief if you take out the section on Tagore on Bauls -- and that's the only part that I didn't like.
- Other than that, rest of the article is OK and needs expansion/elaboration only.

[edit] lalon, hindu or muslim?
dear sirs I just would like invite you to check better the religious origin of Lalon Fakir. Actually I know that he was a hindu baul and then became muslim because an islamic family saved and guested him. This was remarkable, he was one of the few gurus with half muslim and half hindu followers. Regards Raimondo —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.147.15.11 (talk • contribs).
- True, but from what I know of him, he was a universalist ... not favoring any particular religion, but rather the whole humanity. His songs have this theme. --Ragib 16:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
