Bob Marley's shooting and Exodus? Hmm... no direct connection to Indian reggae that I saw. In 90s Bollywood, we picked up the *feel* of reggae—that relaxed bass and offbeat—from filmi songs like "Roop Tera Mastana," not from albums abroad. We used it for romance scenes in hills, not for rebellion.
See, I composed for a Bhojpuri film where they wanted a "Jamaican beat" for a picnic song! So we took that bounce, but with dholak and shehnai. Our reggae was all sweetness, no politics.
