The Roma ("Gypsies") are a distinct ethnic minority, distinguished by Rom blood and the Romani language, whose origins began on the Indian subcontinent over a thousand years ago. No one knows why the original Roma began their great wandering from India to Europe and beyond, but they have dispersed worldwide, despite much persecution and oppression through the centuries.
