its funny actually, concept of Shawl is old - using Pashmina wool (goat's belly hair) to make shawl was a creation of Tibetan businessmen from Nepal. Neither India nor Paku had anything todo with it - they are good in Ctrl+C.
Tibetan's already minted really good $$ from Pashmina long time back already; my dad used to sell for almost $150 a piece wholesale from Nepal in mid 1990's.
By the time other Nepalis and Indians started making pashmina, we're long gone. Currently China make's the largest quantity of Pashmina and you can even buy for $4 a piece.
fyi - tibetan carpets are also Copied big time in India - infact Indians make more Tibetan Carpet than Nepal (thanks to Maobadi's for destroying this business). Search for Indo-Nepal carpet.
