There is at least one [[Buddhist]] tradition interested in Karamamela, who was a strong and bitter voice, not suffering his social status with content. Kramamela and his family followed the [[Bhakti]] movement. Their [[Abhang]]s comments on that time, on the way to meditate and god's loves for his devotee. These poems resonate with current [[Dalit literature|Dalit poetry]], describing criticism of society and beliefs of religion, disbelief in pure doctrine and pollution, and protest for survival.<ref name=Zelliot>
