Abstract

Religion has to play a role not only in private but also in public life, values-orientation is a necessity, tolerance needs to be practiced in a more pro-active way and liberalism has to become more holistic, integrating values other than freedom and so on. In this regard, folk religions of Manirampur are very interesting to reshape the socio-economic-cultural and religious development where Bangladesh finds out deep and accredit-able elements to rebuild the cultural and folk religious development. Manirampur is a great part of the Jessore district of Bangladesh, which is the main source of remaking the anthropology of this deltaic township. Bhagabania religion plays a great role to sustain the social structure. This folk religion starts a new movement to establish the own culture and own tradition. Besides these, there are many folk religious holders, who play a great role to make the Bengal socio-cultural-folk-religious achievement where people will find a new dynamic speed and how they lead their religious life and all these, they will know it well up. Folk Islam mixes with the popular people where people make up a new sponsor and new path to guide the people. These are Matuaism, Vaishnavaism and Bhagabania-ism. This is why it is re-made and here is a simple answer because these recreate for getting up and gaining up their rights from the social cast-ism and creed-ism.
