I am a Romani from Canada that grew up in Europe. Thank you for shining spotlight on our beautiful people and the some problems. Thank you, we love you too

I'm a Romni and I love India ♥️ Thank you for the video

Im Romani people and im love my brother Indian and sister indians ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦. Indian traditions and values are the same all around the world. I'm a Hindu that still believe that I can't be catogerised in a religion, because Hinduism is a way of life. Stay blessed brothers and sisters. Come to Durban, South Africa. We have English, Zulu, Xhosa and Afrikaans speaking Indians, with 150 year old beliefs that are beautiful. I hear that another countries believes in Dee Baba. Someone from this country, please respond. Would love to hear from you... Vinod Singh Durban South Africa 🇿🇦

My family comes from Prague. Imagine my shock when my DNA came back with 15% Indian. Perhaps this is why.

we need to spread more awareness among Roma communities about India and their history

We're Proud of you Roma community for keeping the parts of tradition alive for centuries. Love and Respect from India, Pune

I’m from the US. Through a DNA test I found out I have Romani ancestry. I don’t know where or how far back, but your video and others I’ve watched are giving me a window on an elusive part of my family.

In Britain, many Romany try to hide their ethnicity. Especially if they are light enough to "pass" as British. This is apparently what my paternal grandmother did. She moved to Canada, married a Scotsman, had 5 kids and didn't tell them anything. Those kids grew up, had their own kids, and I was really dark. It took a DNA test to find out I was Romany, and by that time the older generation was all gone. Still, I'm glad to have my answer!!

India should recognise them as Indian diaspora and must use its influence in Europe to ensure their social justice. I would like to Ministry of External Affairs to hold World Roma Conference annually.

Few years ago, when the Roma (Gypsy) Taxi driver in Frankfurt to my amazement almost understood my conversation with my wife in the native tongue of Rajasthan, a north western state in India, I decided to work on this and find out how. Since the Taxi Driver understood the language of Rajasthan, I went through the history of Rajasthan or Rajputana as it was originally called and discovered that there was a huge exodus of the tired soldiers of the army of great Rajput King Prithviraj Chauhan around 1050 AD who ,as the history says, fought 17 wars with Mohammed Ghauri. Most left with women folks leaving empty villages. Most Roma belong to the fine Rajput warrior caste and others were farmers called Jat who also were in the army. While the great king was keen on continuing battles, many soldiers did not want to fight more wars and stayed at home. For a Rajput staying at home during war was a stigma. They were taunted for staying home at the time of war. Therefore, as a folk song of Rajasthan says, they left their native land in groups. They left from no other part of India. Some went west and are called Gypsies or Roma now and some went down to south India where they still are in their red and yellow color clothes and with huge mustache. You can see them on google by clicking "Lambada in south India". I am from Rajasthan but live in south Indian city of Hyderabad and hence see Lambadas daily. I was further shocked again when our Gypsy (Lambada) maid mostly understood an old Hungarian Roma lady talking in Romani about Nazi atrocities on a BBC program on TV while I understood it by reading the English captions. Apparently, the two ladies 9000 miles away now spoke same language spoken about 1000 years ago in their land of origin. We being from Rajasthan still use many of their words. On the way to west, Roma took words from Persian like bibi and many other tongues including Greek (drost for road) and from Armenian and so on. Also, few joined them on the way from Sindh, another Indian province,now in Pakistan. They are still called Sinti within Roma and words like laklo, lakli, chavo are from Sindhi. They somehow lost their surnames of fine Rajput warrior clans. Roma may try to find surnames like Sisodia, Chauhan ,Shekhawat, Nainavat Rathore, etc. However, I found only one exception in Poland. One Roma has Mirga as surname which he said was not Polish but Roma. Rajputs have a surname Mirdha. I am sure this must be same. But they kept first Indian names until 19th century like Amos Bihari and his daughter Panna Cinkova, both great Roma musicians from Hungary. Panna meaning Emerald is a pure Rajasthani name not used in other parts of India. You may look in Google for “Panna Cinka . If they were not Indians, why otherwise would they have Indian names in Europe in the year 1711? Today Roma use many of the words from Rajasthani (or Marwari) and Hindi, both of Sanskrit origin. Few are ek do trin nak(nose) bal(hair)angusth(finger) bersh(year) diwas(day) sassusussro ( mother and father in law, from rajasthani) saaloSali (brother and sister in law from Rajasthani) chora(boy) chori(girl) cior(chor, meaning thief)) gia sov, thalle, upralpurano (old ), dukh, kasht, tato, langhal(lame) maang, des, lajja and so on. About half are from Rajasthani and Hindi both of which originate from Sanskrit. I know hundreds. There are thousands. Luis Mori, another Roma has sent me a huge list of Romani words which I match with my Roma maid's vocabulary. Sometimes grammar has changed to European style, like we would say sov gia and Roma would say gia sov. Same meaning though. Has slept. Also, all Indian languages including today's Rajasthani has two yous, one for Junior and one for senior. Romani and the language of Lambada even today have only one you which is "tu "used for Juniors and for very close ones which must have been so 1000 years ago. Romani words are from pre-Muslim era in India and hence pure Sanskrit like hiv(him in Sanskrit) for snow or ice is used while we in India now say barf which is Persian. Please go to the following in to see more. “Romani an Indian lost Language by Adriano, an Italian Roma from whom I have learned much and also“Roma girl from Kosovo goes to India" All Roma had mustache which was necessary for Rajput warriors. Purity codes of Roma were till recently practiced in India like Roma breaking the plate if animal licked it. My mother used to give the plates to beggars if our dog ever licked it even once. Also, food once served on table but not eaten does not go back to Fridge or saved for eating later. That is why death rate within Roma during great European plague was so low as claimed by scholars. Roma had also carried our proverbs like "while choosing a daughter in law, believe your ears more than eyes” meaning reputation of the girl's family was more important than her beauty. Another common proverb is"If the road is crooked, you can't walk straight. Roma eventually lost their religion, quite understandably but Sara kali of southern France is a Hindu deity of Goddess kali favourite of Rajputs. The deity is immersed in water body every year like we do in India. The Vatican has not recognized this deity as it has no link to Christianity. Romani also has an unusual word"trishul" from Sanskrit and Hindi meaning a spear with three fingers. This spear is associated with Hindu God Mahadev or Shiva and the war cry of Rajputs Regiment in India till today is " Har har Mahadev. Please see on You tube "Dr. Ian Hancock: Keynote Address at Romani Studies Conference Dr. Hancock who is a Roma makes very scholastic analysis of Romani history from European side. He successfully dismantles myths like Roma are old Jews or from Egypt or came from within the earth. He establishes that Roma indeed came from India.However he has not said much about which part of India are they from and which language from India they speak. He only mentions "Indian Language" while there is nothing like Indian Language. We have hundreds of languages. India had hundreds of independent kingdoms. Rajputana, as Rajasthan was called then had many kingdoms too. Prithviraj Chauhan was the king of Ajmer in central Rajasthan from whose army Roma came. He also links Romani with Sanskrit while truth is that Romani has words from Rajasthani and Hindi alone both of which originate from Sanskrit. Romani is made of languages which have Sanskrit base and not directly from Sanskrit. There are many words in Romani which none else from India except those from Rajasthan will understand like tato meaning hot. He also says Roma are Doms who burn dead bodies which is certainly not true. Doms live about 1000 miles away from Rajasthan and are dark skinned. Many Roma have come to Delhi and Jaipur in Rajasthan to get their DNA tested and were doubly assured of their Rajasthan roots. Also, one may see Romani Dances in India-Kalbelia of Rajasthan which is same as Flamingo dance of the Roma. Even the dress of the dancers are same. As a student in the US during seventies, I saw some slightly brown students speaking language somewhat familiar to me. They said they were new Roma migrants to the US from Spain but I did not know about Roma at that time. I have received many mails from some Roma stating Roma were Doms and untouchables from India and so on. This should not be true. First, there are no Doms in Rajasthan. Second, Roma who came to south still have mostly Rajput surnames or Gotra and very few Bhil (a jungle tribe, but soldiers too) surnames. Gotras or lineages dont change in India. Third, down trodden and timid would not venture leaving home to travel thousands of miles and fourth, Doms are very dark even for Indian standards while Roma are not. Fifth, Romani has many war related words including a word for prisoner of war as Dr. Hancock says. Only a martial clan would use and keep alive these words. There should be no doubt that Roma are our lost pral and Pena (We would say pra and behna). Hats off to them to keep the language and culture alive even after 50 generations while humanity in the entire world now melts away in two generations. I am in contact with many European Roma from whom I gather some new facts time to time. I have also gathered the above information from history of Rajasthan.

We Indians have been displaced in so many different ways. My grandfather was taken as an indentured labourers to work in a British colony….and my father and I were both born there. My DNA is 100% Indian and I cherish my origins witn pride. We have managed to retain our culture and language even after 100 years of separation from the motherland.

India is a huge county not surprised most Roma people come from there, thanks for sharing 😊

We are from India we left and made our own identity but we are truly from India.

I’m a Romani from US , it’s cool to see others in other country’s because the only ones we ever hear of or know aren’t really in the poverty. I’m sure they’re are some that don’t live in that community but our culture doesn’t change regardless of wealth.

I found out a few years ago my Scottish ancestors have Romani blood in their veins... I am known as the Gypsy in my family and I tell my children we have an ancestor awakened thru me using their inherited gifts to help and heal my ppl, I am Indeginous Maori, Scots and Irish....I asked my mother how did we end up with Romani blood, she told me they came over the mountains from India.... It made sense coz I would have past life flashbacks and see my son in this time riding an elephant in another time. I do not look like my native family nor do I look like my white family however I could go to this place and blend in easily with the locals 😂... I cried at the end wen you said "no matter wea you are in the world we love you"... Thankyou ❤️

I would first like to thank the young man from India that was very kind of you very welcoming. I am Roma, funny enough I was, I was researching I to found out that we are from the Punjab area of India. I married someone from India but his family didn’t appreciate the fact that I was not Indian so they thought but now I have the Indian surname Gadiparthi and I’m very proud to own it.🙌

WOW! Indians are all over this world 🌎🕉️🕉️🔱🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇾🇬🇾🕉🕉God Bless

As a Roma thank you brother for this video thanx for raising awareness about us my people .. god bless brother you with long happy healthy life ❤ 🙏

We indians will love u and admire u more than u imagined.u might find hate in world but will always get love from india becoz u r one of us.

Iam a roma born in hungary grow up in canada 🇨🇦 .. these types of roma's are true survivors all over European countries the story is the same not the majority of us by the way .. but as a nation its a miracle that we survived not just survive but kept the language culture our music dating back to the first civilizations its litterly a miracle bcuz for about 600 years in a row we were slaves we were tortured we were mass murdered and tried to earse the roma gypsy from us but never ever nobody doesnt matter the terror that we faced .. not many other civilizations has kept their original languages huge empires come and go but gypsies they are still the same .. my roma borthers and sisters i love you dont be ever shameful about it our roma blood is something precious ❤ 🙏 .. godbless everybody 🙏

Romani's are originally from india mainly from north western parts of india they look so much like indians and even their language is similar to regional languages of india sadly many romani's dont realise this they have gone through so much they were oppressed for so many centuries. Love you guys from india ❤

I come to know about Romani community from one of the Abhijeet Chawada's videos... and then I started searching for the information and I stumbled upon your video... India should recognise these people as Bharatmata's children... we all Indians would love to welcome all the Romani people with open heart ❤️

People in Europe are so harsh to Romani people. I live in Scotland and never had problems with them, i like their music and the people are very social with good humour in my opinion! I also like indian music and culture though

I discovered that I have Roma ancestry through my Dutch Grandfather. I have always felt drawn to India and have many Indian friends, and therefore feel very proud to know that somewhere way back I have Indian people in my family tree. It is an honour.

I'm crying watching this. They have really faced a lot throughout the history. I hope they find happiness wherever they are.

These are our people.

As an Indian I feel India as a consciousness must rise. I can't even imagine what kinds of pain our ancestors and yes they were sons and daughters of India went through, facing persecution and tragedy after the Mughals/Turks invaded and we are currently in India debating about how they tried to and still try to destroy Indic culture. I wish Romani people would come to India to connect and know that they do have a home, we understand many of them will see them from where they are currently, but India is and will be your motherland. And Indians your brothers and sisters, meanwhile as an Indian I can only see inevitable India's rise as how can the Hindus who migrated, were butchered can get solace. Love from your Indian Sister

Charlie Chaplin is perhaps the most famous Romani far. Yet hardly any Indian knows about this.

there is a district in Coastal north karnataka where romani people are returning back in groups to India and staying together. Near Belagavi district in north karnataka. U can find apartments occupied by romani people. They are nice people. I was traveling from Bangalore to goa and stopped due to tyre puncture and met romani people there. Initially I thought they were local kannada speaking people and when they struggled to speak kannada I had a chance to hear the story of romani. Romani are always welcome in India. Despite saying no they offered help like pushing our car to mechanic shop.

I feel that India should go all the way out to reach out to Romania to help them in building their nation with education, better health facilities and cultural deepening.

My grandmother has this haplogroup and I want to thank you for this. It makes so much sense as to why I am attracted to the culture .I'm in tears.

They worship "Sarah Kaali" , an icon of Mother Kaali, an Indian Goddess. There is a church of "Sarah Kaali" in Southern France. Many of their Dom language have common Sanskrit names like for eg. Vay in Dom language meaning wind for Vaayu. Osht in Dom language meaning lips or Ausht in Sanskrit. Chin in Dom language meaning to cut or divide which also means Chinnah in Sanskrit. Paani means water. Mr Ian Hancock is an authority in Roma or Dom language and their Culture. They were mainly blacksmith community who made weapons like arrow, wheels, and other instruments of warefare and kitchen equipments. They might have migrated forcefully as slaves when Arab invasion started after 800 AD into Indian territory of now Punjab, Rajasthan, Sindh , Gujarat.

It kinda hurts that Indian and hindu genocide was the biggest genocide in the whole world but briefly someone knows it😢

I want Government of India to raise awareness about our Romani brothers and sisters ❤️🙏🏻

5 years I used to travel to Phoenix, AZ for work. In the evenings, I would go to different restaurants for dinner to enjoy different cuisine. One day I went to a restaurant where there was dance performance scheduled. I was the only Indian there, then I saw an Indian person enter into the restaurant and then he went for performance similar to Flamenco. I was shocked to know he was Roma and his dance reminded me of Banjara dance of Rajasthan.

Knowing your roots is shaping your identity and its gives you a hope and courage to face the world.

I am a Gypsy Roma who is from America. My families clan or community are the KALDARASH they were the Tin/pots smiths my family immigrated from Europe /Spain in the early 1900s I believe it was after world war 1 My mothers mother is a Hungarian gypsy who escaped the Nazi camps as a child with her little sister to Canada then to New York then met and marriared my grandfather she was around 15yrs , my fathers father my other grandfather were cousins so both my grandfathers were related so I did a DNA test for fun and it said we were 37% south asians India . the rest was balkin jewish greek Italian Spaniard . im still researching. The thing with gypsy people is no matter where we go regardless of some customs or our dial varies are traditions do not change as well as our language We do not marry outside of our ethnicity sometimes only the men will marry a GUYSHEE non gypsy women but that women will then live by our traditions and culture never a gypsy man will live a non gypsy life gypsy girls are all virgins until marriage and will only marry a gypsy boy period.. the Boys father will pay a dowery to the brides father in the form of gold or money gypsies have laws all gypsies must follow we have elders who implement these laws they are the gypsy counsel. our children go to school men work women take care of children and run the home women. our teens and young adults are not involved with drugs gangs murder we marry young and we work to support our kids and families never you'll find a gypsy that rapes or sells dope ect. like non gypsys GUYSHEE do we keep our traditions/rules alive from one generation to the next. we live amongst Guyshee but we stay true to who we are.

The only person who can talk fluently with these Roma people in their language in the whole of Asia is Mr Janardhan Pathania he's worked a lot on Roma's and their language and written on them vastly

I'm Polish Roma thank you for the video ❤️

Romanian Bhai and Behan, You have been out of India for generations,but we are glad you still remember that your Mother is Bharat Mata .May yòu all remain blessed and continue to tell your children about the Great land your ancestors left centuries ago.

Indian government should establish support & recognise their struggle & hardship ...give them overseas citizenship..and other right...m

I love my ancient community of Roma brother and sister ❤️ you all are our people we are always be brother and sisters love you all from your ancient home India (aaryavarta / Bharat/ jambudveep / bharatvarsh / hindustan) ❤️🙏

Govt of India should do some kind of outreach.. Sponsor research into their history, issue grants to writers, give scholarships to students etc. They are pravasi bharatiya too. Like the girimitiya in carribeans, or South african indians.

We need to spread more awareness in our India There's community living outside of India Most Indians don't know about Romani gypsy people But we are learning and we need to speak for them you are our brothers and sisters❤❤

I am British and my family are from Romany heritage and we use lots of Indian words like dick look muee mouth pani water vardo promise many more and we are aware that a long long time ago we migrated from Rajasthan thank you for making the video in 1834 a third of the English romany a third of us mixed with gaje or gora I believe Dom or domari means low cast

I love my culture

Aw this made me sad yet happy. The feeling similiar to finding your long sibling. Though I'm very mad at how they were and still discriminated in Europe 😡😔 hopefully they'll get the justice and love they deserve, i know i love Romani people from now on :) 💓 also Romani people called themselves 'people of ram(ji)' hence the name Romani 🥰

Don't say bollywood. Bollywood is dead only indian cinema 🗿🔥🔥🔥

I am Romanichal and am interested in the music of my people but struggle to find examples.

Yes you are definitely Roma son and if anybody wants to know if they're Roma it's in the eyes we all have the same eyes no matter what color they are

Love to Romani people from India,like a mother land,a mother

Big Love for Romani & Rajasthani People! ❤😍🥰

I'm Romany from UK I talk act live differently not by growing up its in my heart.

Two peaceful Indian communities, thousand years and still proud of their roots, Another one just in 75 years and called themselves Arab🤔.

Thank you for telling us about our own people who live there.

You've made a beautiful video, and I hope millions of people around the world will see it, and are inspired to share their hearts. Imagine all the people. We still miss you, John.

You keep saying you look like them. You don’t look anything like them. Also when you went to their house they served you with drinks and biscuits, that’s no just an Indian thing, it’s done around the world as a show hospitality to any guest. You are trying too hard to drive your narrative.

With the rise of India 🇮🇳, people with their Roots connected to Bharat 🇮🇳 will also rise ❤. Roma people, Yezi people, converted Muslims etc, we will rise together. Stay strong ❤

We love you Roma.. you are our long lost country cousins.❤

An important fact : During the holocaust conducted by Hitler, along with the Jews, millions of Romanis were wiped out as well. Unfortunately, this fact is not spoken about.

I'm from Tacoma Washington I wish you could get in touch with me I'd like to enlighten you more about the gypsies hope to hear from you

As an Indian we should Do something for the romani people.

Glory to our motherland 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Dear abhinab bhai, it was great to know Roma's Indian connection. Roma is the most prosecuted minority in Europe. It's the high time for their reparations. Indian n India must build diplomatic pressure on Europe to make way for mainstreaming of this people. Europe has to correct and mend its literature portraying Roma in bad light. Nice job. If possible please make an extensive, proper documentary covering all forms of atrocities that Roma are subject to.

History of hindu kush mountain range is related to romani people/rajistani people

Footballer Christiano Ronaldo & Andre Pirlo, Michael Balak, Charlie Chaplin, Pablo Picasso, Rafael Nadal are also Romani people...

Indians have a habit of trying to claim everything as being from India. Just like Indians are trying to say that the Romani people originated in the Punjab region. This is just a theory and not necessarily true.

I learned about Romani people from Abhijit Chavda.

God bless the Romanis , pl come back to India, we love you🙏🏻❤️🇳🇪

I'm pretty sure one of my relatives was Romani because I had Indian, Iran, North African in my tree that was almost unexplainable

during the entire video my heart was filled with love , compassion towards them . oh my god my heart was beating so fast .

We spoke before. My family are Romungre and Sinti who came here from Hungary and Carpathian. Both groups are best known as musicians and performers. I'm second generation here in America. This family in the video you visited are obviously better off and have a nice home. The majority sadly don't have homes like this.... Not in Bulgaria nor most countries. Back in early 1970s I remember Indira Gandhi met with Macedonian Roma... famous singer Esma Redzepova visited and performed in India many times... So the connection with India was aware long ago even before that.... In the old stories passed down by many Romani

They are more familiar with older RK songs like Awara hun.

At least they are living a better life than had they been in india

If some Romani is reading this when they India don't compare with a specific view of an Indian as there's a lot of diversity in India an Indian can look really different than what you'd expect us to look. IMO Romani people look alike people from Northmost part of country where you find really fair skinned features and similar or even colored eyes from states such as Jammu&Kashmir, Himachal, Uttrakhand, etc. You can also find similarities with people from Pakistan and Afganistan as they used to be part of India a while ago.

Beautiful people ❤️ They must be internationally recognised and helped 🙏

I have read in wikipedia that they carry a genetics which only found in south asia. So its true they are from indian subcontinent(specially from Rajasthan and sindh).

1000 years ago their ancestors were Sindhi or Punjabi or other North western Indians/ Pakistani Aryans Further 3000 years further back their ancestors were Central Asian/ Eastern European/ Persian . So they can be called Europianized Indianized European. 😂 Still today Pakistani & Western Indians ( Punjabi, Rajsthani, Gujrati) look like dark European (unlike rest of India which has African/ Australoid features) Thats the reason 99% of Bollywood actors hail from Western India or Pakistan. In a nutshell, we are all mixed and basically branched out from same root.

Good bless 🙏🏽 finally I have something interesting to watch 🙏🏽

Roma history goes they were the Dom people of Northwestern India who left India for the west. Why? Don't know! Dom people still exist in every corner of India as a low caste of street dancers and musicians. They also introduced belly dancing to the middle east

Such a pity the Roma language is dying out so rapidly. In the 1970s a professor of Panjab University Chandigarh, whose name I don't remember, did a lot of research on the Romani language and similarities with Punjabi and Hindi. He wrote a series of Hindi articles in some magazine, perhaps it was Kadambini (कादम्बिनी). I was too young but my mother was a regular reader and I also read a couple of the professor's articles. In one he had compiled a list of Romani and Hindi/Punjabi words which are remarkably similar.

My son is half Romani. When he is old enough I will tell him where his family comes from.

Sadness replicates in his eyes... U r in still Indian... V love u...

God bless you for showing this. My heart just leapt and felt with joy and sadness and the same time. A part of me went out and wanted to embrace them, all the Romanis out there. Felt like I found a land full of my lost brothers and sisters. God bless them Love from India.

I’m so thrilled, thank you for this video now I’m going to read about Romani people and their culture ❤

yes romani ,gypsy people from india it's indian dna

I’m happy to find your videos. I’m endlessly curious about the Roma. I’ve been working with the Kalbelia, Manganiar and Kamaad communities since 2012. The Kalbelia are not familiar with the Roma or that their families has migrated out of India. I was in shock when I visited Spain in January. My flamenco teacher Ivan Vargas looked exactly like Khatu Sapera. All Kalbelia I’ve shown his photo to think he looks Kalbelia. It’s such an interesting mystery. Can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos. I’ve been interested in this topic since 1999. It all started when I saw the film Latcho Drom.

Actually Roma are from Rajasthani INDIA most of there ancestors. Even if u look closely they look like Rajasthani in some documents also it's mentioned. But later I get to know when I done some search that there is multiple grop of roma living in Romania 🇷🇴 and some other parts of European 🇪🇺 countries also but not all groups are Indian Roma because if you see Romanian history there a two groups of roma one is from Romanian only and other are Indian roma. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q6HfenInNEA.html

traveller named nomadic indian also did a video some where a year ago in romania stayed with them and showed their life style very good to know our people.

What do Hindus think of Romani and I’m talking about the ever Hindu

I JUST find out about this subject, as a Indian i am very disappointed that our history books didn't teach us about this, idc if thay don't recognise them self as indian now, that's fine........but when thay ware taken thay ware Indians or bhartiya and i think this is more important topic then those glorifying chapter's of non indian torrent emperors (those torrents who probably made romni people nomads )

Tears to my eyes. Eu sunt Romani, Opre Roma. Separated from my family at birth, and have always wanted to reconnect with my family. In USA without family, community NO one survives.

These people look like European they Don't look like Indians. They are very good and kind hearted people, the should need get respect

Love u Roma people from India ❤️
