    Roma to get accepted as "Indian Diaspora"?

    If you can be sikh and hinducentric, I think its not problem for Roma. Im christian but also respect ancient beliefs. I like also hindu art, the portraits and sculptures of God. And I think its a great philosophy I also believe in Karma, Karma is a very smart concept.

    Brahmins are also closer related to Europeans then Lower Castes and Southindians, thats a misleading term. I told you westeuroasian doesnt mean European. http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/controversial-study-says-upper-caste-indians-are-of-european-descent-lower-castes-of-asians/1/230848.html...

    They are not "mostly white" with very little indian DNA. Thats false. I quoted already they are 50% indian and 50% european and middle eastern. Many Roma look just like Indians. If you go to a Roma settlement and they will think you are one of them. If they were mostly white they would look...

    I dont think Roma should be Hindus. We need to disagree. Religion has nothing to do with culture.

    Roma to get accepted as "Indian Diaspora"?

    I cannot really explain that. I dont know why. I think many Roma do work, but they are street sweepers and trash metall collectors, or poor low class workers, entertainers. I think its untrue that they really do nothing or unwilling to work. Some steal and cheat but I dont that majority does it...

    I think you got something wrong. Because I doubt Native Southasians like Sindi can be half West European which your graph suggests (half is blue). I think thats something else. I dont know if I want it, its a recent development Im pretty indifferent to be honest, but Im curious how Indians...

    West Euroasian doesnt mean European, thats European + Middle Eastern + ANI combined. Roma are half Punjabis 50% to get PIO card you dont need to be fully indian according to Indian law, 1/8 (12%) is enough. Even only married to a Indian is enough if you are zero Indian. Roma originated in the...

    Pakistan is pretty much the same as India, so is Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and Maldives. Thats called the Indian Subcontinent. Nowadays those are different nationalities but when Roma moved out, it was the same back then.
