Introduction
The Sadhubanik are a subgroup of the Sunri. This subgroup also lives in both India and Bangladesh. The main foods of the Sunri community include rice, vegetables, fruit, grains and dairy products. They do not eat beef or pork but will consume fish. The primary language of the Sunri Sadhubanik is Bengali.
Ministry Obstacles
It is hard for Hindus like the Sunri Sadhubanik to grasp and embrace the idea of worshipping only one god. They will have to understand that God is a jealous God and he has no rival.
