Abstract
Cultural-resistance is witnessed particularly among Dalit women in various popular forms and practices. The emergence of Tathagata Buddha songs can be seen as a form of resistance because its spread, popularity, and acceptance are marked in a particular moment of history — the conversion of Dalits into the fold of Buddhism on 14 October 1956. The emergence of Buddhism, particularly post-conversion, witnessed a new cultural wave in which musical practices like Tathagata Buddha songs gained widespread mass appeal.
