@@AvtarSingh-kf9tk actually there a lot of tension ,in Fiji as indians dont mix ,they dont integrate and stick within their own community ,that is fine in india but doesntv work when you go to places that is not india

what exactly is their influence in Jamaica? because most of the culture is derived from Africa.

@@mariegold3906 The conversation was about INDIAN(not African) and it’s influence on the Jamaican culture. I understand the ‘what-about-Africa innuendo. I never said Africa didn’t influence the Jamaican culture. I simply highlighted the Indian culture influence in the Jamaican culture. What you’ve said may be because you see it in the Jamaican culture but I can only speak on what I know, not what I don’t know, right? It’s okay to share or teach truth, if we know truth. Jamaican culture is a collaboration of other cultures including and I’d guess primarily Africa, and definitely India, as well that I can see.

@@monicagomez4616 What are some of the things in Jamaican culture that was influenced by Indians? Apart from the curry.

@@mariegold3906 ‘….the curry.’🫢 From Google searches anyone can read, even copy and pasted like I did to hopefully answer and resolve the matter: The Indians made a number of contributions to Jamaica including the below: The celebration of Hosei, which was symbolic of the creative exchanges that were made between the African-Creole and Indian cultures epitomises Indo-Jamaican heritage. What started out as a Muslim Indian affair soon stretched to include the African’s participation. They introduced spices like curry powder to Jamaican cuisine. They were skilled metalsmiths and jewellery workers and created gold, silver, and brass jewellery and ornaments. They introduced innovative methods of farming including the cultivation of rice. They included their distinctive music, dance, and traditional dress into the Jamaican culture. Additionally, the influences of their belief systems have also been incorporated into Jamaican religious practices. They used marijuana for medicinal and spiritual purposes They brought lots of new plants and trees along with their products such as coolie plum, betel leaves, betel nut, tamarind, mango, and jackfruit. They incorporated many of their traditional Indian foods into the Jamaican culture such as curry goat, curried potato, roti, eggplant, okra, callaloo, and bitter gourd, which have all become a part of the national cuisine. The origin of the term ‘Gong’ which was made popular by Bob Marley, who was called “Tuff Gong” is an abbreviation of the Hindi word Gangunguru which means ‘great king’ or ‘king of kings’. The name Gong was also ascribed to Leonard Howell, a prominent figure in the rastafarian community. As you can see, the Indians and their contributions are a very strong part of our heritage. Amazing, Isn’t it? After all, we are Jamaicans - Out of Many, One People. Also Google: 10 Contributions Indian Immigrants Made to Jamaica.

@@monicagomez4616 most of what you wrote is a reach. I did my own google search too. The word gong is of chinese origin, caloloo is of african origin. Btw alot of these food are not unique to India alone as africa has them too. No telling who's version is mostly used here, i am guessing the affricans. The truth is counties like guyana and trinidad culture is more influence by indians than a country like Jamaica and its very obvious. Also hosei is not celebrated here. Even black history month which is a black american thing is celebrated here and not any indian holiday and that's very telling.

Huh?

Wow j didn’t know this. A dna test revealed I am 20% South Indian. My family resides in Jamiaca. I just started to loc my hair.

truth is truth. The holy Indians. Aka Sadhus did bring the herb seed aka ganja to Jamaica. As most of them smoked it because SHIVA the hindu god also did smoke it. Plus those holy men had dredlox too but they called them jata locks of matted hair. The God Shiva also had lox. But many people disrespect the knowledge I talk about because of ignorance. By the way congratulations on your DNA test. Much Respect to you. I am Indian but my parents grew up and were born in Africa. I grew up with many Jamaicans in Northwest London.

asnd why is that good news

nothing amazing about it why the hell should that be amazing

The word Ganja is of Indian origin but cannabis has been smoked by the Khoisan and Bantu of Southern and Mau Mau have worn dreads for thousands o

You goof many Africans like the Maaisaai and Mau Mau have worn dreadlocks for thousands of years . The first leader of Rastafari said he got dreads from Mau Mau , yall inspired the ganja and ital but not Dreads

Yes now its going to be used as medicine in allopathy also

boxman frm3201 keep quite.... it is as same as ginseng originally from korea. But it’s different forms are found in india china also

why ?

Dreadlocks were not brought by Indians? Do you say that because you could of African ancestors? Hindu God lord Shiva have dreadlocks hindu religion which is the oldest in the world and he smokes weed

@@praneshsingh7840 no one is not denying that Lord shive did not have locks. Listen carefully….. “Indians did not introduce dreadlocks to the Caribbean, people of African descent where in the Caribbean nearly 500 years before Indians came as indentured workers and adorned locks which existed in Africa for thousands of years” . So just to reiterate what I am saying and what it is facts and what is in the history books and what we actually know about Africa is that lox has been on the heads of Africans and African descendants since the history of time . This is the natural thing with Afro hair you let it grow it turns into lox. This is not to say that there is no lox in India, no one is saying that, what I am saying and what we do you know that is a fact is that lox existed on the heads of African descendants in the Caribbean long time before Indians came to the Caribbean….. and for your information I spent 2002, 2015 and 2016 in India and yes, I saw lots of lost holy men, but that isn’t what we’re talking about here, we’re talking about who brought locks to the Caribbean!!!…….Om Namah shiva. And please don’t presume what my ethnicity is, because you don’t know me!

@@praneshsingh7840 This information was not hard to find, do your research 🧐 …Dreadlocks have a long history in Africa. Victoria Sherrow, the author of the Encyclopedia of Hair, A Cultural History 1, named the priests of the Ethiopian Coptic Orthodox Church as some of the first people to have sported dreadlocks in Africa, as early as 500 BCE.

Dreadlocks were found to be religiously used in indian scriptures first! Africans have locks due to nappy heads... not for spiritual reasons stop begging it. Heard a black woman say that africans invented yoga the other day... Africans didnt invent shit worthwhile. Indian brought their weed spices mangoes etc you going to claim that too??

@@linmorgan1340 Girl stop lying 🤥 dreadlocks come from Jamaica not Africa. You Africans need to stop trying to take credit for everything. Everything doesn’t come from Africa. The world does not revolve around Africa.

black is just a color; they are African. Indian can be "black" too

@@maaruz1979 They are not built strong like blacks. They are not good runners (no Asian is, not even very light skinned). They are not very good athletically. Other differences is there skin texture is. different. They don't walk with a rhythmic motion. And they have mostly straight hair. They do come in more varieties of color than black people. That is because their country was invaded by a lot of Arabs who mixed with many of them.

​@@maaruz1979but the features are very different

@@Shiva-nx1tn black is a color. they can have the same color. features can be similar too; check some Ethiopians, Somalis, Eritreans, Sudanese.

exactily and is that right ? is that just ?

There are white, chinese, and lightskin Jamaicans too, so what are you saying 🤷

We Jamaicans are more mixed than black americans though and it's a fact!!!

Those other races are a minority. most Jamaicans are of African descent, only a very small percentage are actually mixed.

Spicylife vlogs........Is hindustani...a language????

Essarroy Rupchand aa see labors language was Bhojpuri/ awadi ( east UP n Bihar’s language) but most north indians speak Hindi . Similar but hindi is urban language. Hindustani is term your ancestors used for hindu speaking hindi and muslim speaking urdu. World changed but traditions in guyana trinidad hindu are still backward and offcourse muslims are more radical. So technically hindustani is the language yiur ancestors given name and hide from new generation.

@@spicylifevlogs8355 What makes you think that Hindus traditions are backward? Is your tradition superior?

Essarroy Rupchand you people have no connection with the mainland india hindus or overseas hindus of usa canada. You are making old backward hindu stuffs alive but unable to make understand to your new generations who laughs n mocks because they have no idea . We are being taught every logic why we have so many gods , this diwali or holi means what?? We challenge islam here that we are right. We indian hindus changed with respect to time. Your generation is influenced by highly alcoholic, arrogant, sex, party , cultureless people of African origin.

Uno badmind Indian people inna Jamaica

Not at al true lmao learn your facts. The word Ganja is literally from “Ganges”, and it’s well documented that Indian laborers brought the plant to the place too. And what is this bs about us not “taking part in your culture” yes we do tf? We aren’t in Trinidad lol we have no issues with black people at all. Also literally look it up Hindu gurus have had a profound influence on Rasta culture and religion.

So yeah in short we are nothing like Trini Indians we love our black bredren 100% through and through and never let the white man divide us

@@singhparminderfan9807 ok 👌 bro I am a Jamaican and I know all those things, I know Haile Selassie in 1966 when he came to Jamaica 🇯🇲.

Ganga is from india lol how could u make such statement when the word "Ganga" itself is a indian/hindu word. idk why people now a days think that everything is from africa, not everything that human use in our everyday life is from africa. Theres more than one continent go and educate urself.

@@singhparminderfan9807 Speak for yourself pal. Not all of us take part in their culture. Some of us keep to ourselves.
