  • Hi! My name is Abhinav and I am an Indian living in the UK. Recently, on of my videos about the Roma people also knows 'gypsy' in Europe went viral on UA-cam. There were hundreds of Indians who loved the video and wanted to learn more about them so I thought why don't I release another videos about my experiences in Roma villages in Eastern Europe.
    If you have any more info or questions about the Romanis then please put it down in the comments below or connect with me on insta @abhinavrevis.
    Thank you for watching and sharing this video. I would like every Indian to watch and learn more about our long lost brothers and sisters from India.
    JAI HIND JAI BHARAT ❤️

      My ancestors are Roma and settled in the UK in the 1600s. Only a small group came to the UK. They intermarried with the local indigenous British. The crazy thing is I'm part of a Roma dna study project and I have distant cousins in the Balkans and Eastern Europe and I have about 5% Indian/Dravidian dna. I'm white and don't look dark at all. Some UK Roma have dark skin but not many.

      They can't because Romani people didn't get any recognition in any country. They are Nomadic people.
      Many western countries talked about democracy but they themselves are not giving them any recognition.
      Many famous people are Romani people but they don't reveal these things publicly from the fear of persecution and hatred. Christino Ronaldo, Pablo Picasso, Charlie Chaplin are some of the example of Romani people. Many biggest sport and entertainment personality are Romani people but they don't reveal themselves publicly. Atleast 40% of European Sports and entertainment personality are Romani people. Many European music and dance have very much influence of Roma people. Flamingo, Salsa are some of them.

    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.

      Actually yesterday I was laughing at a Roma gypsy music video and my father told me Gypsies are from Pakistan and India. Then today on FB someone shared a Roman fight and women fighting and a woman said in comments,"We thought it was from Pakistan". I thought she was joking about our culture or something and then another guy commented that Roma came from that part of the world. Finally, I dug deeper and Viola, I found that Roman people look exactly like us. Modestly dressed women, and men and the faces God it was like I just saw my friends. The kids also look like our children.
      I just want to say it's so beautiful that Roman people have kept there roots alive. And thank you both for telling in such detail about them. I am Gurjar and my parents say we originally came from Georgia too.

    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!!

I did DNA tests initially about eight years ago to find more relatives and answer questions about the family. I used various companies to compare results. As I said I have about 2.5% Romani DNA, my dad (who passed away years ago) is about 5%. I got him tested while he was still alive. On my mom's side we have Jenisch/Yenish ancestry.

      What tradition? You as an Indian have no idea how Gypsies live in Europe, how they refuse to integrate, how they make a living by stealing and becoming criminals, not working and living off of welfare what they get for having 6 skids or more that they can't raise properly. They litter, they are loud they are always in gangs and they single out people when there's many of them but few of their victims. In my country they didn't integrate after 800 years, half of the prisons are full of them even if they are only a minority, Gypsy girls get pregnant in their early teens, they drop out of school, they have no qualification and refuse to learn or work. Come to Romania, Hungary, Slovakia to a Gypsy slum and see how they live, talk to the locals and ask them what they think about Gypsies, then you'll have a realistic picture about them and you can decide for yourself if you love them or respect them.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

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.

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.

      @@ranjittyagi9354 According to the info in Wikipedia the gentleman Mr Weer Rajendra Rishi passed away in 2001. I was wrong about him being a PU prof. But he did have some dealings with Punjabi University Patiala and had set up his own institute for Romani studies. I doubt it is functioning any more. But he left a bulk of scholarly works and must be lying somewhere with someone.

    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.

      That makes sense since northwest India and parts of Pakistan is where most of the Indian ancestors of Roma people came from (though the Roma also have European and Persian ancestry/mixture).

      @@yourend3177 I think you're mostly right. But Rajasthan and Sindh are in northwest India (which I mentioned); Roma (and Sinti) people are probably related to/descended from a range of similar peoples in that area including the Banjara, the Rabari, the Kalbeliya, the Bhat, and possibly certain small landowning/farming groups. And yes, their coloring is partly due to admixture (I also mentioned that they have European admixture), but though the people of Rajasthan and Sindh are certainly noticeably darker on average than Roma (being fully Indian), there are many lightish people among them - it is north India (and dark Roma).
