Baul is complete, you can not rework the indigenous Bauls of Birbhum. Babukishan preserved Baul starting in the 1960's. Baul has been preserved and one should know the names of the poets, those saying Baul does not care who the poets are, are thieves, stealing the songs from this lineage. They are copying this lineages dress, where they go, and what they do, and some are even copying Nabani poetry taking his name off and acting, making Baul random and generic, creating false narratives.
