afrdzak Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 There are a few viewpoints of the origin of Hookah and some people just don't know. My take is that the idea of a bowl with water and a stick on it was from India. Althoug it was popularized in Turkey. They made it look pretty. Yeah, I think that's it. chow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuma al Zrai Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Probably from a coconut in India, made its may into Persia where it was made with metal, and popularized by ottoman soldiers after returning from battle in Persia. The Arabs really gave it its modern state and alot of the charachter, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
