european gypsies, but roma is a better term. they are rom, roma, romani people
Firslty im not (your) aunty
...roma-ji ie enough and preferable 
Indians do not care for others out side their region forget countries. Kasmiris are
My point was supporting people who were a part of India in the past. Pakistan is merely an example.
Waaauuu!Firslty im not (your) aunty
Secondly my nick-name roma is from names like roma khanna - and
there are at least two people with that identical name
one was (is ?) with cnn-ibn broadcasters of india, the other is Indian-Canadian
and is fantastically well-qualified
ref :- https://www.google.com/?hl=en#hl=en&q=roma+khanna
Fact is im persian-indian basically ( maybe some syrian from very way back ) mix
and not of gypsy or Roma background
eg im more like sushanne khan ( formerly sushanne hritik roshan )
hope that helps clarify.
Well as you'll appreciate Pakistani are hardly the people worth citing when talking of Non Indians who have Indian ancestry in a generic sense.
Name of the biography will be Aunty ji,Aunty ji get up and danceWaaauuu!
Now I am gonna write a biography about you.
Appreciate your view. If you read my previous post you would find that i said
valid observation - more true for people in India - where they can pick and choose but for nri's, normally
same feeling here ---- am neither pro nor against - just treat as an individual
the assertion that roma people originated from india is a strange one to behold in practice - i am aware that otherwise learned authorities such as encyclopedias might be saying so - but let's remember the british also concocted the aryan-dravidian divide and now we are finding serious holes in that theory ...i actually live in Iberia and there are loads of Roma people and communities here and they include almost every dna - from Indian looking at the darkest level to total blonde at the other extreme ( strangely there are no Chinese looking roma nor african looking ) - some do look remotely indian but the majority by far do not - they look basically european and are already integrated into society to the extent that you cant ell them apart until they tell you
simple reply :- Packland is pointing nukes at us , roma people are not .
GIven my observation that roma are only about 7or 8 % of indian origin, should the indian government and indian society feel responsible ? lets be rational and look at NRI and PIO ( people of indian origin ) qualifications - do roma qualify for either of those ? ....let's be logical and accurate - they dont do they ? there is a time limit of 4 generations where one ancestor had to be born in india - but indian based roma have left india for at least 500 years , actually more , so that's a lot more than 4 generations - they are also intermixed to the extent that they do not practice any indian culture nor hold the characteristics of indian people do they ? ...the only thing in common is a brownish look and a straight nose , unlike say malay or polynesian people ?
in 1987 whne there wa a coup in Fiji and indians were seemingly threatened, Rajiv Gandhi who was then PMwarned that india would not sit idly by and watch negative things happen to our people - his statements had an effect
no problem - but what happens after theName of the biography will be Aunty ji,Aunty ji get up and dance
: dance ? :bedtime: or :cb: or ??
sorry but you talk nonsense, romas are definitely not 7-8% indian. and where im from most look like indians, in spain maybe many look blonde but where im from not one single one. there is a difference between west and east european roma with west european roma being closer to europeans and east european roma closer to indians. most romas are visibly indian biologically, and only very few are european.wow, heck am i sticking my neck in this one with so many replies - but it is an interesting topic isnt it ?
valid observation - more true for people in India - where they can pick and choose but for nri's, normally
the mother will say preferably marry from our own community but if not any Indian will do - please try your best not to marry a non-indian
also in India - the state barriers to friendship and marriage or mixing pf any kind is breaking down, especially at the more educated levels - look at shasi tharoor, mani shanker iyer, subramaniam swam , Rajiv gandhi, priyanka - they are all married to people from other states within India and in the case of Rajiv - to a total foreigner - so it's more flexible at the top an surely the top, if they conduct them selves well are an example to the others to follow ( mummy if our prime minister can do that , why cant i ? )

Even a simple search via Google or any non-british source will tell you that a large part of Roma are originally NOT from India but from the caucus region - the areas now called armenia, georgia, , eastern turkey, anatolia azerbaijan
so why single out india although our contribution is only say 7 or 8% of the roma total population
my response is - ask the british - i personally believe they had a major hand in that twisted assertion !

i agree. i think it is time that india accepts romani people as indian.
