I don't know if you meant something else but Roma are of Indian origin and speak/spoke a native language of Indo-Aryan origin.Diaspora is dependent on culture. There is no problem with Roma being called Indian as long as they are amenable to stop believing in revelations of prophets and agree to live according to reason.
The problem with that is 2 fold - India is secular which is highly problematic as it respects any random beliefs and dharma has been severely degraded due to islam into hinduism
I don't mind calling Roma as Indian diaspora but that makes little sense as of now. There should be certain basis for doing so. As of now, Romania is part of NATO and EU. The ties with Romanian people and Indians are not strong. It will take some time to sort out many problems, establish cultural relationships and then the naming of Roma as Indians will be meaningful.
Romanians are a slavic people who speak a romance language.
Roma are spread across all of Europe; while Romanians are concentrated in Romania and Moldova, primarily.
