The materials which make Shukas come from Scotland. You come from that community and you can correct me. It is the same material which is used to make the kilts, those skirts which the Scots wear. However, the Maasais are not paying any royalties to the Scottish people. They are beneficiaries of the knowledge which came from Scotland as part of humanity. Therefore, we have to accept that there are people who invented what we treat today as the broad body of knowledge. Even the language we speak came from somewhere. The bulk of it is not paid for. So, why are we now trying a tiny segment of humanity who have immensely benefited from previous knowledge and innovations of the past? Why are we trying to commoditize and profiteer from this knowledge which should be the common heritage of humanity?"
