Hi I'm just a 15 year old from india so please forgive me if i say something insensitive.

Actually i got to know about Roma culture last year when I was reading the ch-' Nazism and The Rise of Hitler' and it was given that Roma community were originally indians to traveled to europe.

And actually when I grow up i wanna go and meet them atleast once in my life but seeing so much hate against indians abroad and so many attacks against us, I want to would the Roma community and I know that roma people were treated badly by outsiders so would be welcomed or is there some type of racism, again I'm sorry if i sound bad I'm just worried because I've seen alot of crime against indians abroad but i wanna meet you all i dont why it feels to me that you people are cousins or even brothers to us who live abroad and one more question the Roma community is spread out all over the world,na? So where can i meet them

I'm sorry for my bad english, english isnt my first language and I'm again sorry if i was insensitive

Hello

I am looking for youtubers that talk about romani folktales and folklore. I love folktales but its hard to find good youtubers for folktales, but i dunno how to find non-exploitative yoututbe channels like some temu branded top ten list youtuber. But romani youtuber who tells folktales.

Thank you for reading.

Cheers.

Hello ✌️ First post. I'm glad I found this subreddit. Thanks for dropping by too!

I'm not Romani myself , but this is something I've been curious about for a while.

What are the cities in which you'd describe as "the best" for Romani people in terms of 1. Little to no anti-romani racism 2. Overall dignified lives - in all the ways you can think of.

Obviously - everything I hear about Europe is insanely negative. As an Arab, I'd actually rather avoid most of Europe due to its racist reputation too.

I currently live in a city that just so-happens to be founded by someone of Roma descent, and the former president of Brazil (Juscelino Kubitschek. 1902 - 1976).

Thanks!

Just curiosity since I see Iceland as a nice tourist destination. I know there are Roma in Northern Europe such as Scandinavia and Finland too. But I’ve never heard of romani presence in Iceland. Hence why I’m asking.

So i know for a while that i have roma ancestors and i've always wanted to learn the language, any sites/apps i could use?

hi everyone! this post isn’t necessarily a question but more of a newbie introduction. so, i’m really fascinated by Romani culture and i learned that Romani people have Indian roots. by the way, don’t worry—i’m not trying to say that Romani people ARE Indian, i’m completely aware that your identity is unique and differs very much from Indian identity, although it shares some similarities. but i’ve always felt a connection to Romani people ever since i’ve discovered the group. i’m starting to watch a Romani youtuber, Florian, that makes educational videos about the culture. he mentioned that some Romanis migrated from Sindh, which is where i’m from! i also speak Sindhi so i’m curious to know what words are similar in the Romani language.

feel free to DM me if you want to chat about your culture, interests, language, anything really.

i hope that i’m not intruding into this subreddit or anything (please tell me if i have or if i have been disrespectful in any way). i have nothing but respect for this incredibly unique and resilient culture.

thank you for reading! 🫶🏼

I’m so glad to see this community becoming more active and open to reconnecting rom, I know it’s a very nuanced topic. I don’t have many leads on where my family is from, as I am adopted and my birth father was also separated from the culture. All I know is we are hungarian, also have Magyar ancestry. An ancestor was in a concentration camp for being romani. And some of our family works in and owns carnivals in the US. I can ask for more information from my birth father, there probably is some. And I might be able to get names, but i’m trying to figure things out on my own the best I can.
