Im Romani people 🇮🇳 Thenks you for video 👍 Our brothers and sisters living on our common land should know our history, because we are not only brothers and sisters in language and culture, but also in blood. My respect for you mister.
Im Romani (Sinti). My dna test found 37% South Asian. So Indian. After over 1000 years of migration and after 700 years of living in West European countries, I think that's still pretty much Indian dna?! I see a lot of similarities between my language, indian dialects, and even sanskrit. My hair are black - Mira bala hin kala Sun - Kham Moon - Tchon I go - Me jau I want/I love - Me kamau Go - ja Milk - Thud 5 Stones - panj bara My life - miru jipen/mu jipen Who is.. - kon hi.. Where is.. - kai hi.. Listen - Shun See/watch - dikh have to consider that our language has only been passed on orally for over 1000 years. Then it is clear that you pass it on as you hear it. This is how "main" became Me (Mei pronounced) Anyone interested in languages and would like to exchange ideas is welcome to get in touch.
@@sanjayyadav-mc6fq You have to imagine how the dialects were distributed in India over 1000 years ago. What was being said all over India at that time, we took everything with us, including Sanskrit. Because of this, some words may sound like Bengali, or other words like punjabi or how you say bagari. Or other dialects 🤷♂️ We also have different dialects among ourselves. Some say Me jinau, others say me janau or me janav or me janava. (I know) And we also have purity laws. I don't know whether we have them from India. This includes, for example, that a woman is "unclean" from the point where the waistline begins. That means that when she is pregnant or has her period she is, so to speak, untouchable for men.We have many such rules.

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. 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 RUclips to see more. “Romani an Indian lost Language”ruclips.net/video/UJvn7nLeZaI/видео.html by Adriano, an Italian Roma from whom I have learned much and also“Roma girl from Kosovo goes to India.....”ruclips.net/video/q6HfenInNEA/видео.html
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, UC Berkeley" ruclips.net/video/NTsqiP196Uw/видео.html. 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 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 on RUclips " Romani Dances in India-Kalbelia "youtu.be/E- Y9sUl4i4Iof 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 "Gotras" 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.
Attention ! India and proposes that the Roma derive from the ethnically diverse martial society of the Rajputs, as well as from camp followers drawn from the lowest Varna and the out-caste or untouchable groups (Hancock 2000).

No one other than rajputh, have shed more blood than any one in India to protect Motherland. They did it for centuries and they only lost once. That was end of India being India
@@ವರುಣ್ರಾಜು But in Indian history books, We(rajputs) always consider as loosers... Left leaning historians never tell us that how many time our ancestors protected our culture and civilisation but they had written an whole chapter on how & When we failed..
My friend actually know a Romani Guy from Czech republic, my friend went to Prague in 2019. He had a brief chat with that Romani Guy. He told him how they are forced to do small works and became labours. Women are forced into prostitution. Romani are generally considered as thieves and socially discarded. That was doing cleaning works in various restaurants. He also told his grandparents used to say we are more or less indians and face discrimination due to their Skin colour. I still can't believe how much pain and problems they have to go through. My feelings goes out to all Romani people who are discriminated and oppressed 🙏
Who forces Romani women into prostitution? Romanis do not allow their women to turn into prostitutes. Also who forces them to do small works and become labourers?
yeah, most of romani people have problams with integration. no, that dont want to be part of any new sociaty, they cant be . they are gypsis , they need to travel, sing, dance. tham indian blood is still very much alive.
@@rajeshwarchinna youtube is enough bro. Search similarity between kathak and flamenco dance, and many documentaries about romani, gypsy people really shook me. they really look like the north indian people.
I have found them in Airports in Europe. I was very surprised how striking they look. They have black hair and very fair skin. Their dress is very colourful. They were the ghaghara like in Gujarat with lot of mirror work. Since i am from Gujarat, it fascinated me. Kudos to you for bringing close one more fabric of vasudaiva kutumbakam
That’s one thing I’ve been saying for a long time to people. The striking similarities in facial features and looks of the gulf Arabs to Indians. Thanks for confirming this.
They'll create chaos and headaches for india , They maybe of indian Origin, but they don't perform or follow Indian culture and values. It will create Religious, ethnic conflict in India. Because remember Culture is everything, no matter he/she is of which ethnicity. The Great Kushan Emperor Kaniskha The Great was not of Indian Origin, but he embraced Indian culture and civilization and fought for india and spread Indian culture world wide. Conquered other territories for india. Because of Emperor Kaniskha Tibet , China, Mongolia, Japan, Korea are Buddhist Nation Today. He was a true Indian despite being an Non Indian by origin.
@@umbrellacorporation5723 Aside from religion, to me they appear to be Indian. I hope India takes them to they can no longer burden Europe, but I also hope they do not subvert the Hindu culture of India. Perhaps they should be made to learn about India and vow to respect its Hindu character before they settle in India.
@@caroldelosangeles3621 what discrimination, racism u r talking about , why don't ur country accommodate ur own peoples, of same cultures. Just look at your country, it's so full of racism and discrimination, just because Gypsy aka Romani people's are of different ethnicity ur country marginalized, discriminated , percicuted millions of Romani. These Romani people's are living in your country's for thousands of years, and yet u guys discriminate with them on the basis of ethnicity. is this the kind of tolerance u guys have..? U should be ashamed of your country, Romani people's are not India's liability, They've left india thousands of years ago. Even we don't consider them as Indians who left india a decade ago and gave up citizenship and accured foreign citizenship and passport. India can only raise Romani issue , we will not provide any kind of citizenship or entry into india. Romanis are not indians , Indians are those who follows indian culture, tradition and values, irrespective of origin, ethnicity, race , color, creed.
Thank you for clarifying this for many. I know Romani people, I had them as friends as well. Many of them are pretty well educated, integrated in the societies they live in. About 1500 years ago, they moved west from the Punjabi part of India. The term of gypsies according to Google comes from the believe that they were Egyptians. They live all over Europe including Ireland. Probably many that claim to be Romani, don't have anything to do with the blood line, but adopted the Romani customs and traditions. It is said to be nation with a language, but without a country. As sad as it may appear, many of them after such great deal of time, are still keeping their own way of life and traditions. Amazing isn't it?
"Probably many who claim to be Romani, don't have anything to do with the blood line, but adopted Romani customs and traditions". Why would anyone adopt cultures and traditions of a marginalised group? Doesn't make logical sense. Unless they were Rich or Rulers in ages gone past.
i m a romani or gipsy from country romania i think it s easy for india to help us first all of us need to have indian names (now we have slave master names) we need to learn indian history .romani or (gipsy)and to go to india dont know maybe 100 to learn indian cuisine .and came back and open restaurants here in romania another 100 to learn yoga and ayurvedic and open centre here ..yes india should pay for they school but just until romani(gypsy) start to make money ..and in the future indian banks or guvernment to give us loans to buy land and build little india ..yes because now we so called romani or gypsy when india need help with corona virus we romani (gypsy) should send a little help too.

Wonderful video my friend, i am a true roma person and I appreciate you pointing out the good in roma culture, i would just like to add something to this video , it is true that alot of roma people are still nomadic but most of them and by most i mean maybe 90% of roma people are not nomadic at all we’re just regular people that live next door the only difference is we have our own language and customs that are very important to us and not all roma steal not all roma are witches or psychics , ignorance is a cancer which unfortunately is part of everyday life
Religion amongst the roma people differ based on region , for example I myself am a christian so is my family and we’ve been christians for a very very long time but i know roma people that are muslims, hindi, etc. again its varies from region to region JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE .
Do guys feel you don't blend with local cultures with identity crisis or otherwise. I have few friends of Indian decent in Africa , they tell neither they find themselves as a local or nor as an Indian since they were there for many generations.

@@abhishakeification every tree has its own bad apples the thing that bothers me is that every time you see a video about rom/gypsies they only show the bad part of our peoples they show the slums the poor children running around without shoes the parents complaining that no one helps them and ofcourse the crime , and it makes the world think that every rom is the same , ignorance kills, it starts wars ,segregation and instills fear . You walk by us everyday without knowing or seeing a difference from your own self its the ignorance shown by many that tells you different
Parika tut prala. I love my Indian heritage, but it's so sad that the bloodline is ebbing away. I am pale with blue eyes, butmy grandad is darker with brown eyes. I want a DNA test to see how much Indian I have in my blood
I lived in Germany and Austria for 2yrs. There are a lot of Romani people in Austria. Although Germany had few Romani people, their population was much higher in Austria. Before going there I never knew such a group of people existed. When I saw lot of Indian facial featured people, I browsed about them and came to know about the term 'Gypsies' or 'Romanis'. I really wanted to talk to them, but not knowing how to start, I left. But it was painful to see so many of our own people living homeless in Europe eating 1€ burger everyday. It's super cheap and we'll still be hungry eating that burger.. Come back to our country guys, we'll take care of you.. You don't have to struggle like that in those countries amongst cold blooded people. I don't know about US or Canada, but Europeans are very reserved, insecure, money minded, intolerant people. They'd all talk nice and warm in front of us, but amongst themselves they call us brown skinned desis etc.. I lived with a German family in there most of my time. Although they talk nicely to me infront of my face, within themselves I often hear them telling each other, not to get too close to these Desi boys or Girls, they're plundering our jobs, they're getting too rich, these Desi ... are everywhere these days etc etc. I know them personally but there are still many good people , these hatred comments were told to me by one of the boy in the house saying that they're talking stupid about Indians, please don't mind it, they're old generation people, they don't change etc.. So there's that too. Nobody will help you, you need to help yourselves in those countries. Poor Romanis, can't imagine what their ancestors would have went through in the ancient times..☹️
O my hanumanji now I understand why a german woman say herself a indian origin hindu from gujrat rajisthan from where her ancestral move out when she meet me in a train
This is interesting - I recently asked a Serb while in Serbia about the Romani people. he knew they were originally from India but refused to acknowledge that they were discriminated against or marginalized. He said that they beat their own wives and children and the police are inundated with calls from their women due to domestic violence. He felt sad for their state of affairs and was of the opinion that they brought it upon themselves because they refused to integrate with Europeans and refused to work honestly to earn a living. They are found guilty of thefts and such, and do generally live in the outskirts of cities. Very sad state of affairs.
I lived for 3 year around the Roma community in central Europe. This is very unfortunate that your serb friend was actually right. They have very hard time integrating with European society and no matter how hard government try, they simply resist to make any positive change.
@@hariom5574 , yea , altought they are in europe 1000 years or so, they are still nomads. that is tham blood. they cant stay in d house , play in d backyard......i traveled several times in india and i saw how similar is this romani culture with indian culture. specialy rajasthani and punjabi culture. im amazed about this similarity.

There is plenty evidence only if you want to see facts. Go see somnath it was destroyed 17 times and ayodhya too really after that barbaric Islam invasions one after the other.

Thanks for this video Me Chanda. I’m Chinese Australian & I have been interested in the Gypsy (Roma) people since my days at university. It would be good, if you make a video of the Roma people by taking a few Romas to trace their roots back to India. It can be a documentary video of more than one part - maybe 2 or more parts. You can take them on a journey, travelling east to Rajasthan. I look forward to you making such a video. Maybe you can ask the Indian government to assist your project financially & other ways. It will be good for tourism to India. Good luck. The world must unite to fight discrimination against Roma (Gypsy) people. God bless the Roma people. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺
If I'm not mistaken, Indian government already invited n promised to give them citizenship should they decide to migrate to India. I guess most of them don't know, don't have the means to travel or even proper papers to do so.
@@SintiSchneck : you been living in India? Then just the regular routine for citizenship , live in India continuous for 5 years, speak read write any Indian language, n have no criminal records etc.. If you r living outside India... then PIO Cards there are rules. If you or your parents were/are citizens of Indias's neighbouring countries YOU CANNOT APPLY FOR PIO Card. Your application will be rejected. If you or your parents were/are citizens of India, You can apply for OCI card. But OCI cards will NOT be issued to people of Pakistan or Bangladeshi orgins or those that hold those citizenship even though ther were Indian before they switched citizenship. I don't know you ground reality, So good luck.
If India really wants to take it's rightful place as a Superpower in the comity of Nations, it must first use its growing clout to liberate the Romani from a persecuted existence. Alternatively give them a carte blanche option of returning to India on the basis of DNA testing. Else our claim to preserving our people, culture, values and way of life is hollow.

Even Alba Flores, a Spanish Actress who had a role in a web Series "Money Heist" is a Mixed Romani and Spanish, and so looks very much like an Average Indian Women.
@@akritimattoo1092 She acted in a South Indian Movie. She looked so much Indian in that movie and as I said she is part Romani so She has Indian Complexions
@bablubaban008No, people from Spain don't look like Indians unless they have north african, middle eastern or roma ancestry. Though other Hispanics from Americas, because they are highly mixed, can often look like Indians.
I found out about the Indian origin of Romani people,the Spanish flamenco music genre being Indian, etc , when I was a teenager, except it was mentioned as an possible origin story and not as the only and final answer to Romani origin. The Indian origin of Romani people does explain many questions I've had about that social cultural group. BUT THAT BEING SAID! I'm not of Romani or Indian origin, so I don't claim any of those ancestry or specialized knowledge of that.
Please make more videos on this subject. The truth needs to be known by the 1.4 billion people of India so that our Romani brothers and sisters have an option to come back to India if they desire.
Instead of giving immigration to Rohingyas we should invite the Romani back to India and they would integrate perfectly as they have not forgotten their culture. Like you said when I saw their videos I immediately felt they looked Indian and their dialect sounded Gujarati.
Romani people left India long before the 1st turk crossed Hindu Kush. It was in the 6th century when shah of Iran Khosrow 1 Anushirvan invited 30000 Roma from India.

Sir, please Explain. How to propagate TRUTH that YOGA is Vedic Science and it's scientific Achivement of our Dharmic Cultural (Hindu) Civilization. And How to Stop & expose plagiarism of Many Dharmic Sciences and teachings.
we Gypsies of India are Knowen in here by the name of Banjra and Roma are Banjara its us our Nomadic tribes went to europe is now called as Romani or gypsy in middle east they call them Doma and In India and pakistan they call us Banjara we have same language almost same and lots of similarities in Traditions also in clothing
I recently watched a movie "time of the gypsies" in that movie a man was counting ek do teen and i was shocked then I read the history of Romani people how they were persecuted and marginalised by invedors its really heartbreaking
Always wondered why I had a vast interest in Romani/Gypsy culture. When Indians go into survival mode we do some extreme shit. 🔥❤️. Much love to all the Romani out there.
Indian government must investigate on this matter who were made slaves by Turks and taken to various countries including USSR and Eastern Europe including Germany and grant them citizenship
Hello! Sir huge fan of yours; had a question regarding the Egyptian civilization is there any connection with india or indians because it seems that the architecture of pyramid has a lot in common that of our hindu temple and their beliefs in afterlife, and their gods r somewhat similar for example we have Ganesha they have sun god 'RA' whose face r that of a animal or birds? Could you elaborate more on the same topic??
Dear Romani people reading this, even if they marginalized you or took you away from India, even if they forced you to convert, you are still Indians. The global Indian diaspora is greater than the Indian ethenicity in India and if we unite, we will turn the tides in our way. Imagine Indian descendants ruling everywhere united, those who oppressed us will become minority. All we need is to identify, we are the same roots, same culture, same people :)

I M romani/lambani/banjara/Gormati from India mumbai we have population over 12 cr in india spread all over indian and lived in tanda away from citiea
Im Romani (Sinti). My dna test found 37% South Asian. So Indian. After over 1000 years of migration and after 700 years of living in West European countries, I think that's still pretty much Indian dna?! I see a lot of similarities between my language, indian dialects, and even sanskrit.

Thank you, greetings from India! ❤️
Brother I use to live in rajasthan, India and your almost word match my mother tongue called bagari ( slight defferent from Rajasthani)
@@sanjayyadav-mc6fq You have to imagine how the dialects were distributed in India over 1000 years ago. What was being said all over India at that time, we took everything with us, including Sanskrit. Because of this, some words may sound like Bengali, or other words like punjabi or how you say bagari. Or other dialects 🤷♂️
We also have different dialects among ourselves. Some say Me jinau, others say me janau or me janav or me janava. (I know)
And we also have purity laws. I don't know whether we have them from India. This includes, for example, that a woman is "unclean" from the point where the waistline begins. That means that when she is pregnant or has her period she is, so to speak, untouchable for men.We have many such rules.

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. 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 RUclips to see more. “Romani an Indian lost
Language”ruclips.net/video/UJvn7nLeZaI/видео.html by Adriano, an Italian Roma from whom I have learned
much and also“Roma girl from Kosovo goes to India.....”ruclips.net/video/q6HfenInNEA/видео.html
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, UC
Berkeley" ruclips.net/video/NTsqiP196Uw/видео.html. 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 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 on RUclips " Romani Dances in India-Kalbelia "youtu.be/E-
Y9sUl4i4Iof 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 "Gotras" 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.

My friend actually know a Romani Guy from Czech republic, my friend went to Prague in 2019. He had a brief chat with that Romani Guy. He told him how they are forced to do small works and became labours. Women are forced into prostitution. Romani are generally considered as thieves and socially discarded. That was doing cleaning works in various restaurants. He also told his grandparents used to say we are more or less indians and face discrimination due to their Skin colour. I still can't believe how much pain and problems they have to go through. My feelings goes out to all Romani people who are discriminated and oppressed 🙏
Who forces Romani women into prostitution? Romanis do not allow their women to turn into prostitutes. Also who forces them to do small works and become labourers?

Gypsies are a part of India too. I was always interested in the subject. 👏👏👏
Ancestors were. They only have few remaining to their original culture
Romani are gypsies in Europe.
Thank you for clarifying this for many. I know Romani people, I had them as friends as well. Many of them are pretty well educated, integrated in the societies they live in. About 1500 years ago, they moved west from the Punjabi part of India. The term of gypsies according to Google comes from the believe that they were Egyptians. They live all over Europe including Ireland. Probably many that claim to be Romani, don't have anything to do with the blood line, but adopted the Romani customs and traditions. It is said to be nation with a language, but without a country. As sad as it may appear, many of them after such great deal of time, are still keeping their own way of life and traditions. Amazing isn't it?

Wonderful video my friend, i am a true roma person and I appreciate you pointing out the good in roma culture, i would just like to add something to this video , it is true that alot of roma people are still nomadic but most of them and by most i mean maybe 90% of roma people are not nomadic at all we’re just regular people that live next door the only difference is we have our own language and customs that are very important to us and not all roma steal not all roma are witches or psychics , ignorance is a cancer which unfortunately is part of everyday life
Religion amongst the roma people differ based on region , for example I myself am a christian so is my family and we’ve been christians for a very very long time but i know roma people that are muslims, hindi, etc. again its varies from region to region JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE .

It's super cheap and we'll still be hungry eating that burger.. Come back to our country guys, we'll take care of you.. You don't have to struggle like that in those countries amongst cold blooded people. I don't know about US or Canada, but Europeans are very reserved, insecure, money minded, intolerant people. They'd all talk nice and warm in front of us, but amongst themselves they call us brown skinned desis etc.. I lived with a German family in there most of my time. Although they talk nicely to me infront of my face, within themselves I often hear them telling each other, not to get too close to these Desi boys or Girls, they're plundering our jobs, they're getting too rich, these Desi ... are everywhere these days etc etc. I know them personally but there are still many good people , these hatred comments were told to me by one of the boy in the house saying that they're talking stupid about Indians, please don't mind it, they're old generation people, they don't change etc.. So there's that too. Nobody will help you, you need to help yourselves in those countries. Poor Romanis, can't imagine what their ancestors would have went through in the ancient times..☹️

O my hanumanji now I understand why a german woman say herself a indian origin hindu from gujrat rajisthan from where her ancestral move out when she meet me in a train
This is interesting - I recently asked a Serb while in Serbia about the Romani people. he knew they were originally from India but refused to acknowledge that they were discriminated against or marginalized. He said that they beat their own wives and children and the police are inundated with calls from their women due to domestic violence. He felt sad for their state of affairs and was of the opinion that they brought it upon themselves because they refused to integrate with Europeans and refused to work honestly to earn a living. They are found guilty of thefts and such, and do generally live in the outskirts of cities.
Very sad state of affairs.
I lived for 3 year around the Roma community in central Europe. This is very unfortunate that your serb friend was actually right. They have very hard time integrating with European society and no matter how hard government try, they simply resist to make any positive change.
Maybe they could integrate into indian diasporo should they wish to?
@@hariom5574 , yea , altought they are in europe 1000 years or so, they are still nomads. that is tham blood. they cant stay in d house , play in d backyard......i traveled several times in india and i saw how similar is this romani culture with indian culture. specialy rajasthani and punjabi culture. im amazed about this similarity.
roma in sanskrit is goddess of wealth and fortune , love from india
Ohh Prabhu...
Saudarya, why don't you go to them and convince them to come to Sanatan dharma to get back self-respect and identity?
This means Peaky Blinders were of Indian ancestral origin, amazing😲😲, cause in series they were depicted as gypsies/Romani people.
Nah they are Irish travellers different kind of gypsies from Romani.
@@Nadeem87Qureshi they r following similar customs to hindus. Like burning dead ones
@@rephrancecorner6529 nope Irish Travellers are different...they are gypsies but not romani
@@Nadeem87Qureshiyou are wrong gere, his ancestory is literally shown as irish and gypsy(which is is roma gypsy word in this series itself stand for roma) people that migrated feom India, in europe romas are the only folks called gypsy their are the only folks that burn their dead, irish christiand dont do that they bury their dead
@@Wisdom-i1virish travellers are white irish natives they are called pavees not gypsies, gypsy was only used for roma, in this series they burned their dead, irish travellers or irish gypsies as you are calling them never do a burning funeral, they always bury their dead, this story is based on roma folks ie the indian origin gypsies
They need to do Gharwapsi.
You want all Romani to do ghar wapsi ??? After centuries that way entire Indonesia, part Malaysia ofcourse Pakistani and Bangladeshi who are mostly forcefully converted Hindu do ghar wapsi. 140+ cr in india hardly able to survive you want 200+ crore more ????? Where will they on heads of each other. Think about finding ways to reduce population not increase it!!! So many human beings not living like humans in india help them first instead of helping people who are in other countries!!! Oh my god 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
There is plenty evidence only if you want to see facts. Go see somnath it was destroyed 17 times and ayodhya too really after that barbaric Islam invasions one after the other. Will local Indians with love and honey willing concerted to Islam ? Thats what taliban has been doing by destroying Buddhist monuments decades back in Afghanistan and people are accepting them with love and affection…is it?? who you kidding!!! Evidence really!!!!! Ask Hindus in india now how happily they will convert bro!!! It will be a war, no conversion. No one would with love for sure convert. Point is only if 1000 yrs ago native Hindu Indians would Have preferred to die than covert under sword and barbarism of likes of Khilji neither Pakistan, nor Bangladesh and nor Afghanistan would Exist in Southeast Indian subcontinent. Mass conversion caused growth of Islam in the area.
The same source that claims that one particular ‘book’ defines existence of Religion and god!! History is just a perception of few people and writing it to their benefit. Like a specific ‘book’ causing havoc in the world and their followers. Plenty sources on internet bro if only instead of asking me for source you did Google the key terms in my previous comment. But followers of book don’t
@Amimul Islam The source is the writings of islamic historians, genius. They can't stop bragging about how they vandalized temples and killed the kafirs.
They'll create chaos and headaches for india , They maybe of indian Origin, but they don't perform or follow Indian culture and values.
It will create Religious, ethnic conflict in India.
Because remember Culture is everything, no matter he/she is of which ethnicity.
The Great Kushan Emperor "Kaniskha The Great" was not of Indian Origin, but he embraced Indian culture and civilization and fought for india and spread Indian culture world wide.
Conquered other territories for india.
Because of Emperor Kaniskha Tibet , China, Mongolia, Japan, Korea are Buddhist Nation Today.
He was a true Indian despite being a Non Indian by origin.

@@natureandworld2875 lol meine koi alien basha boli hai kya comment mein.
I had heard about gypsies of Europe and the way they were looked upon was what I read in novels . They were always looked upon as thieves and criminals. That's so sad ! Much later i got to know about their Indian origin - which surprised me very much. Thank you for the info about how they got there. It's tragic how many Indians have been dislodged, kidnapped, driven away from their homes / country. The perpetrators are always of the same mindset and community.
I hope and pray that wherever the Romanis are - they are safe, healthy , happy and welcomed into the mainstream . 🙏🙏🙏
Not Indian precisicly Sindhi, Rajastani people
I am sorry to hear our brothers and sisters are still wondering in Europe. Govt of India must help them and put pressure on European govt to recognise and provide all facilities
#Askabhijit Sir as we know our ancient books are destroyed by others, how can we get the right knowledge about the 108 Upanishads, and also book like kamasurta??
Because every book was not destroyed. It is said that after destruction of millions of book 3M books are still there. And majority of them aren't translated yet.
@@JaqenHegar Wow..., And where are those scriptures stored.
@@prachisaini1 I think are in national library.
@@JaqenHegar I pray they don't get into some barbaric hands.
@@prachisaini1 First they need to get translated. And if they get translated then no one would destroy that knowledge as we live in the era of information technology and internet.But still those Sanskrit texts are under government.
Thank you for this clarification, sir. India should offer a good plan to the Romanies, to at least make them feel having a real home.
Welcome always india 🙏😊
Roma people are already forgotten there culture and i don't think they even like india so why would indians do that...?
I dont know to feel happy or sad, the least we can do now for them is to accept them and let them come to india and settle here. I will be so much happy to see them in india and live a dignified and respectful life.
I stayed there for 4 yrs.
So called gypsies,the old women resembles so much like Indian Grandmother in look.
Thanks for this video Me Chanda. I’m Chinese Australian & I have been interested in the Gypsy (Roma) people since my days at university. It would be good, if you make a video of the Roma people by taking a few Romas to trace their roots back to India. It can be a documentary video of more than one part - maybe 2 or more parts. You can take them on a journey, travelling east to Rajasthan. I look forward to you making such a video. Maybe you can ask the Indian government to assist your project financially & other ways. It will be good for tourism to India. Good luck.
The world must unite to fight discrimination against Roma (Gypsy) people. God bless the Roma people. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺
If I'm not mistaken, Indian government already invited n promised to give them citizenship should they decide to migrate to India.
I guess most of them don't know, don't have the means to travel or even proper papers to do so.
This was under the time of Indira Gandhi, I as a Sinto dont even get a PIO Card
@@SintiSchneck : what a Sinto? Sorry I don't know.
@@nonamedontcare9695 Sinto is male singular form of Sinti like Sindhu
@@nonamedontcare9695 there are Roma and Sinti people the ones from Sindh the Others from Rajasthan
@@SintiSchneck : you been living in India?
Then just the regular routine for citizenship , live in India continuous for 5 years, speak read write any Indian language, n have no criminal records etc..
If you r living outside India... then PIO Cards there are rules. If you or your parents were/are citizens of Indias's neighbouring countries YOU CANNOT APPLY FOR PIO Card. Your application will be rejected.
If you or your parents were/are citizens of India, You can apply for OCI card. But OCI cards will NOT be issued to people of Pakistan or Bangladeshi orgins or those that hold those citizenship even though ther were Indian before they switched citizenship.
I don't know you ground reality, So good luck.
Kem chho chavda bhai? Majama..?🙋
If India really wants to take it's rightful place as a Superpower in the comity of Nations, it must first use its growing clout to liberate the Romani from a persecuted existence.
Alternatively give them a carte blanche option of returning to India on the basis of DNA testing.
Else our claim to preserving our people, culture, values and way of life is hollow.
Our present government must help them come back and stay and prosper. Are there other people (other than Romani) like them in the world?
Nobody is Romani, there are Roma & Sinti people
@@pranav6639 thanks for adding us Sinti , how did U know that we exist

Gratitude to you sir .
After the demise of my papa I was missing too much the keen discussion with him about the history, anthropology and many other subjects like Mythology. Now since I have begun to attend all your lessons I am feeling again the satisfaction of having such a great precious knowledge.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic Apna BHAI hai ,.....🤣😂😂😍🥰😍😍😍
No. He is swdeish. He is Norwegian
Even Alba Flores, a Spanish Actress who had a role in a web Series "Money Heist" is a Mixed Romani and Spanish, and so looks very much like an Average Indian Women.
Even acted In a South Indian movie, no one would say she's Spanish on that get up
No way she looks like an Indian, she would pass for an Israeli or Arab. LoL
@@akritimattoo1092 She acted in a South Indian Movie. She looked so much Indian in that movie and as I said she is part Romani so She has Indian Complexions
@bablubaban008No, people from Spain don't look like Indians unless they have north african, middle eastern or roma ancestry.
Though other Hispanics from Americas, because they are highly mixed, can often look like Indians.
That is why Guru Gobind Singh instructed Punjabis to defeat the Turks and expel them from India.
I would like to say to the people of my India, please support the people who are living a very sad life for the Gypsie people love from chhattisgarh.
I found out about the Indian origin of Romani people,the Spanish flamenco music genre being Indian, etc , when I was a teenager, except it was mentioned as an possible origin story and not as the only and final answer to Romani origin.
The Indian origin of Romani people does explain many questions I've had about that social cultural group.
BUT THAT BEING SAID!
I'm not of Romani or Indian origin, so I don't claim any of those ancestry or specialized knowledge of that.
Never feel alone my romani brothers and sisters, I am proud to be Hindu Sanatani
Thank you brother for making an excellent video on the most neglected and harassed Roma population of the world.
Sir excellent. Thanks 🙏
Thier dance & cultures are still same 😘
Thank you I am watching this video now Romani people.
🌈ROMANI PEOPLE❤️ 👏👏👏
They are extremely marginalized in Spain...
even thomas shelby from peaky blinders was a gypsy, nice vedio abhijit sir
Please make more videos on this subject. The truth needs to be known by the 1.4 billion people of India so that our Romani brothers and sisters have an option to come back to India if they desire.
Yes I’m sure they’re dying to go to India.. a place they left 1000 years ago and never came back.
They will create chaos here in India...hell no and they also follow different religions.. We cannot do that,hindus are only accepted here
Instead of giving immigration to Rohingyas we should invite the Romani back to India and they would integrate perfectly as they have not forgotten their culture. Like you said when I saw their videos I immediately felt they looked Indian and their dialect sounded Gujarati.
The only Romani I know is Thomas Shelby ....By the order of Peaky Blinders
Tommy Shelby is roma.i never knew this!
Romani people left India long before the 1st turk crossed Hindu Kush. It was in the 6th century when shah of Iran Khosrow 1 Anushirvan invited 30000 Roma from India. They worked there as musicians and dancers up until the Islamic conquest of Iran. After that they moved to the Byzantine empire, where they lived happily until the Turkish conquest of the Byzantine empire. After that they moved to Europe.
Love to romanis . You are our brothers and sisters ❤❤❤❤❤
Sir, please Explain. How to propagate TRUTH that YOGA is Vedic Science and it's scientific Achivement of our Dharmic Cultural (Hindu) Civilization. And How to Stop & expose plagiarism of Many Dharmic Sciences and teachings.
we Gypsies of India are Knowen in here by the name of Banjra and Roma are Banjara its us our Nomadic tribes went to europe is now called as Romani or gypsy in middle east they call them Doma and In India and pakistan they call us Banjara we have same language almost same and lots of similarities in Traditions also in clothing
When Zlatan enters the room everyone leaves
We should do something to help our Romani brothers and sisters
I recently watched a movie "time of the gypsies" in that movie a man was counting ek do teen and i was shocked then I read the history of Romani people how they were persecuted and marginalised by invedors its really heartbreaking
I'm proud of my Roma people
Always wondered why I had a vast interest in Romani/Gypsy culture. When Indians go into survival mode we do some extreme shit. 🔥❤️. Much love to all the Romani out there.
But the thing is if do Romani think, admit that they have some connection bonds to us...
here in country romania a few years ago a romani (gypsy) leader ask to romanian government to name gypsy INDO romanian they are refused .

Hello! Sir huge fan of yours; had a question regarding the Egyptian civilization is there any connection with india or indians because it seems that the architecture of pyramid has a lot in common that of our hindu temple and their beliefs in afterlife, and their gods r somewhat similar for example we have Ganesha they have sun god 'RA' whose face r that of a animal or birds? Could you elaborate more on the same topic??
How do you know?
Indian govt. Should do something
Fascinating
I'm loving these short videos.
I also want this topic to elaborate
Also the pictures of one Romani girl with her grandmother ranveer used looked exactly like my sister
Romani is INDIAN blood government should recognise them
Dear Romani people reading this, even if they marginalized you or took you away from India, even if they forced you to convert, you are still Indians. The global Indian diaspora is greater than the Indian ethenicity in India and if we unite, we will turn the tides in our way. Imagine Indian descendants ruling everywhere united, those who oppressed us will become minority. All we need is to identify, we are the same roots, same culture, same people :)
Bharatvarsh will be a vishwaguru and all indentured labourers and other migrants from india will be proud of their ancestral links to Bharatvarsh
