The Hindi/Urdu word "rag" is derived from the Sanskrit "raga" which means "colour, or passion" (Apte 1987). It is linked to the Sanskrit word "ranj" which means "to colour" (Apte 1987). Therefore rag may be thought of as an acoustic method of colouring the mind of the listener with an emotion.It is not a tune, melody, scale, mode, or any concept for which an English word exists. It is instead a combination of different characteristics. It is these characteristics which define the rag.
I got this answer from FUNDAMENTALS OF RAGA by DAVID COurtney

The origins of Indian raga can be traced back to ancient texts, with references appearing in the "Natya Shastra," attributed to Bharata Muni around 200 BCE to 200 CE. However, the development of ragas as a formalized system likely evolved over several centuries, with significant contributions during the medieval period. By the 12th century, ragas had become more structured and integral to Indian classical music. Therefore, while a specific date for the "first" raga is elusive, its roots are deeply embedded in ancient Indian culture and music theory.

Raga is not an influence on Indian music. Raga is an important component of the music. In a sense, the music *is* the raga.
a rag is a bot like a scale, it tells you what kind of mood the piece of music is and how it makes you feel.
