We did not create it but we popularized it as a viable and realistic option of hair wear in the a Western world and now beyond that. This style is as old as man!

Btw rasta has some pretty strong and direct Indian roots, tons of similarities and lots of direct influence.

I understand ganja is ganja in India as well!

[Stonigut]

Yes, that is the root of ganja in Jamaica, Indians brought it here after emancipation. Apparently it is Dravidian, as opposed to Aryan which are the two root stocks of Indian culture. I would imagine the Nagas are Dravidian, but not sure. Basically Dravidians were the original India dwellers and the Aryans came in and conquered them slowly starting 1400 bc or thereabouts so the whole indian culture is a story of aryan domination of Dravidian culture over 3500 years or that is my understanding. That is the amazing reason for the complexity of that overall culture.

O.K and what is the influence of Ithiopinas (Abyssinia ) on the Indians, Sankhrit , the Ganges , Ethiopia claimed as it colonies as far away as parts of India.India has documented recruiting Ithiopian warriors in its great past .India is littered with African names in its geography.

To me its circular.

Yes, we don't fully understand that part, there seems to be significant overlap between Dravidian culture and Ethiopian culture. We know that the Ethiopians were a world power for a long period, we definitely know that they invaded and controlled much of Arabia for long stretches but no one even talks about it.
