Pandit Jogendranath Bhattarcharya, vehemently supporting high Brahminism, wrote, back in 1896:"The Bauls are spoken of as vaishnavas; but properly speaking they are a godless sect… Aristocratic Brahminism can only punish them by keeping them excluded from the pale of humanity… if the Chaitanite Gossains, Christian Missionaries or Mahomedan Mullas could reclaim these they would be entitled to
the everlasting gratitude of mankind."
