Baul Shah Abdul Karim (Bengali: শাহ আবদুল করিম; 15 February 1916 – 12 September 2009)[1][2][3] was a Bangladeshi Baul musician and philosopher. Widely regarded as one of the greatest Baul musicians, he was called Baul Samrat (The Baul King).[4] The Government of Bangladesh awarded him the Ekushey Padak, the country's highest civilian decoration, in 2001.[5] Alongside his enormous discography of Baul music, Karim had contributed significantly to developing the Baul philosophy; his work is generally seen as the refined continuation of classic Bauls like Fakir Lalon Shah.[3] Beyond Baulism, Karim's multidisciplinary contribution to several sectors including Body theory, Sufism, Ma'rifa, and Revolutionary music[6] has made him one of the enduring examples of Bangladeshi secular pluralism.
