The origin of Indian Hippies, and the entire Hippie religion alike, traces back all the way to the 40’s, where The United Empire of Ultimate Britain was still ruling India. Back then, you see, Indians were the African Americans of India, and English were the Superior People. All that changed in the 60’s, where Mohandas Gandhi, an Indian lawyer from England, went to India after traveling around the world. Gandhi liked to lead his people onto non-violent protests.
