  • Truly India, where all the dreams and aspirations of Mankind find means to expression. While Jews, Zoroastrians and Christians(Syriac) were persecuted they could flee to refuge in India free of harm. When Tibet was overrun, India provided a sanctuary to them. The poor Gypsies of Europe, if only they could be brought back to their ancient homeland. The Banjara are their distant relations who did not leave India a thousand years ago.

  • Wow my surnames Rathore, majority of my family have resided in Kashmir as Muslims for hundreds of years, but I'm still so proud that even a quarter of my ancestors were Rajastanis!

  • Nice video ... Thanks for the share my friend...23580578H

  • oh wow i saw this kind of dance whilst i was in egypt. :) its great :)

  • I can see belly dance elements at 46 and other places. At 1:25 she does a Turkish style back bend. Also, I can see a similarity to mexican dance in the way she holds her skirt out and flounces it at 2:33. I wonder if the slave that inspired the "China Poblana" dance was from India rather than China.

  • @BellyGems All gypsies originated from India and took that dance and music with them. They also took their bad name and follies with them too. They are not always the most honest people around unfortunately.

  • @asit1

    You mother fucker do not call Gypsy the theaves, that is a erupian mentality, that is how Europe has treated Jews, Gypsyes and other people.

    Currently French precedent sarkozy is doing same to gypsys as what hitler did 60 years about.

    Damn you mother fucker Nazi bastards.

  • @savita1926 I am certain my original post is very calm and matter of fact. I ask you too tone down your comments. I believe its part of good upbringing. If you cannot, I shall have to report you. Thanks for understanding.

PS! dont get me wrong! i'm not saying every romanian is bad&ruthless? yet when ever i do get hate e-mails i choose&prefer 2block them&their friends cuz u never know!! who might b my next hater;)

  • hi!

    not every harsh comment is a hateful comment.

    you must be able to talk to people that have different opinions or experiences.

    romanians are by far the most tolerant society toward gypsy minority ( really ) and hate is not the issue here.

  • balkanmix/huh?!:(( yet il tell u what my dear fellow humanbeing?insteadt ther is a whole lott's of other things behind all these issues wel 2bad ur channel does not accept e-mails cuz i wanted 2send u an e-mail all u have 2do is open ur e-mail's privacy just 1 time only until il send my e-mail and then u can clossed it again!;) no problem with me!;) but that depents on u if ur brave enough&patience enough btw its not a hate e-mail instead its about my own life''s ups&downs&other import:issues,

  • ok , please send e-mail .

  • and peope dont care about us they dont repsect us and you saying that we dont respect of course some gypsys dont respect you country or people becoz we dont get respected they treat us like last pice of shit like dogs as we would be some aliens and not humans just be glad that ur not a gypsy becouse if you would be you would see how it feels and you would be angry too like me becouse you dont undestand you just thing of respectin first repsct us yeah

  • and who the fuck said "kill the gypsies" ? do you really believe the crap you write? being civilized is not a fatal disease to kill you....people want you to be good and to trust you , the gypsies , but you never try to respect the nations hosting you.

  • yes thats true but not all gypsyes are the same what i hate is that all people hate us if one gypsy did steal something they already hate evrysingle gypsy probelry the romanian gypsys rare like this but our gypsyes which live in poland , germany , r not like that some of us go normal working some of us sell things to people but romanian gypsy are just like this .

  • nobody said every gypsy is a thief. we had this conversation before , there's no need to insult me every time....

    of course i was talking about romanian gypsies. i never met gypsies from abroad.

  • yes better soo next time write romaanian gypsy ;)

  • im a german gypsy and we respect people and you can trust us whata hell is wrong wiht you people maybe you dont trust us because you heard from other poeple talkin crap like this or one gypsy did something to you . you know people come to us we give them anything they wany eat drink but after this people talking bad staff about us

  • Wow! from "you", "gypsies" - talk about generalizing. From what I know, it's a two-way street. If you treat people like crap and lecture them on how to behave, they will crap on your lunch.

  • Dull shit.Vy nobody wanted garbage.If you need, you destroy in 24 hours.

  • i love gypsy dance. they are from my country. she is very pretty and dances very delightfully.

  • fuckin crying for money u dont know the truth f gypyees its looks like as if it would be our fold that we are here in your countries there is a reason and think beter what you say

  • i agree with you. calm down. you look very angry. take it easy

  • gypsies were always nomads and of course they live in the many different countries as a result of their own choice.

    nobody hates gypsies when they behave like good people.

    the bastard crying for his bike worked for that. and the gypsy "child" thief was in his twenties , and probably never tried working instead of stealing.

    every time people say "a gypsy robbed me " you , his co-ethnics , defend the thief. thats a good indication of your value .

  • coz gypsye population is growing and you have to go all this trhu if u cant live anymore then kill ur selfe we neva stop i know what your thinking now why is hitler dead he would kill us ohh very sad but we are alive heheh

  • and that basterd cryes for his bike becuase the gypy would steal his bike so what buy a new one u can do anyhting u want we will neva stop stealing basterds hahah and say what u want

  • and anyway why are you crying for ur country we are in one world and all humans and not in 100 world maybe your brain are twistting around and cant think properly

  • yoo people listen up if you got a problem with gypsyes why dont yu face them and tell them i hate gypsyes?????? why dont you kill us if u hate us?? so better shut fuck up coz if u would face gypsyes ur eyes would pop out yes and romanian shit has nothing to do with gypsyes our origin is india and if the stupid people wouldn keep us as slavery we would neva have neterd your bloody shit countries

  • Muhammad Bin Qasim - the father of all tsygan.Tsygane should know their ottsa.Raped Sindhi in 711, taken away in such a famous forefather raby.Imeya naturally be tsyganyami.Durnaya blood.

  • All I see is people trying distance themselves from gypsies as if they are bad.Let me tell you guys the same stereotyping is observed when it comes to 'African americans' but if you see Blacks in cuba doing fine with other non blacks.Gypsies are the same us like any of us.How do you think America,Canada,Australia ,Israel becomes a country ? ofcourse by stealing s/ones land.Gypsy stealing bicycle while whites stealing a country.

  • well , i was not stealing anybody's country...so , next time send him to richer countries you mentioned....i work for my goods and i expect to keep them.

    stereotipe? maybe because we see them doing the same things over and over again.

  • a gypsy man from the neighborhood just tried to steal my bike less than 1 hour ago.

    that could cost me about half a month salary.

    scared him away and if he ever comes back.....

  • The Roma are of Indian origin.

  • The Indians were never nomads.U lambadi and Banjara Hindi accent gives off proishozhdenie.Ya know the culture and customs of Hindu tsygan.Lyuboy you say that they came with Alexander Makedonskim.A after the defeat of the Greeks Chandraguptoy they all returned to Evroppu.Indusy never kochevali.

  • mudakk , first you say they were from dacia , then you say they are semitic. stupid.

    they are indians , not romanian ethnics. they were slaves of the nobility and the church here for centuries , some of them allowed to keep their nomadic life style .very different language and features , traditions resembling those in india , no connection to romanians.

  • Oh greAt. I love it. The culture is too rich. Please don't judge ppl with who they are judge ppl with what they are able to do. I free sorry about ppl don't know shit about cultures and have bad feelings about other cultures. Thanks for uploading it's was priceless.

  • they r not gonna die so why dont we just kill u n get over with it......... ASSHOLE

  • omg lovely

    i am from rajasthan,,

    just love tht place.. its colorfull

  • guys u do not now anithing about romaniens i takestb u ar americans and we all know that u do not know anithig about any other cultures what u ar saing is bool shit romanians are latins have nothin to do with gypsis they emigreted in europ true romania after beeing recruted by alexandru macedon and abandon the couse they wher a nmad tribe and u can find gypsis in all of europ spain france ungria poland germany all of the countris bulgaria cecenia all gyspys do not come from romnaia

  • ROMA, not Romanians, you fool.

  • Ok, you don't want to be considered to be of Indian descent. You don't want to accept that your ancestors had anything to do with India or its culture. We get it. It's just ironic that a people so maligned and mistreated as the Romanis could look down upon another culture.

    By the way, you should alert the BBC that its new series on the history of the Roma people is incorrect, because it states that the Roma people originated from NW India.

  • Actually Roma Gypsies Originated From Northwest India. Even Some Roman Words Are Very Close To Northwest Indian Languages. Because Many Northwest Indians Have Gypsy History Going As Far Back As EARLY Existence. Rajhastan Is Not The Only Place Where Its Possible For Gypsies To Have Originated. Its Possible The Gypsies Of Rajhastan Came From North West India. Its Possible The Gypsies Of Punjab(NW India) To Have Originated From Rajhastan.

  • @testingmango Ither Way We Dont Know For Sure Because Both Punjab & Rajhastan Have Early Recordings Of Gypsies.

  • they are indians. studies say the language they speak is still spoken in india and dna shows identical features.

    are you out of your mind? dacia people were blond . there were traces of dacia colonists in some british areas....not india. romanian ethnics have nothing to do with rrom/gypsy , dont intoxicate people! in fact marrying a gypsy is still unaccepted in romanian society.

  • The Rom are not accepted because of racist assholes like yourself.

  • i never write racist comments. but it is hard for some of gypsies to admit that many of them commit many crimes against all the other peoples .....killing , raping and stealing must be punished , dont scream "racism". just assume your faults ! be better people and nobody will pick on you .

    anyway , dacia and rom/gypsy have NO connection....

  • I traveled to over 86 countries. I went to Romania 14 times, and I can tell how racist romanians are.They should be the last people on earth to be racist.The country is plagued by thievery and corruption -from the lowest to the highest levels of society. If you romanians were so perfect, then your country should have been the best country in the world, but it isn"t The worse is that uneducated and really low paid romanians are the biggest racist. Powerty and the lack of education breed racism.

  • they are accepted when they behave themselves . ....you say i must accept everything? like myself working my life out to pay bigger taxes because many of you live on welfare ?

    see? you are a racist nation , you have a name for all non-gypsy , gadje....you still follow your purity laws from india. documented fact. you try to con everybody and always complain. do you know how gypsies entered europe? conning.

  • Too long and urodlivore dress is not typical of Indian culture, their dialect is the focus is not characteristic of the peoples of India, the movement in dance is not typical for indusov.Oni Romanians (Dacia) who came to India with Alexander Makedonskim.Posle attack Muslims, some of them returned in Romania, some remained in Indii.Oni not indusy.Dermo!

  • so beautiful and exciting to watch...

  • Even today, Roma Gypsies and Indians, Pakistanis look similar, although European Roma do have more "european" characterics, I've several times mistaked some roma people for pakistani. Among Rajasthani Gypsies, there are still plenty of green or blue-eyed ppl.

    The culture is very similar too, their dance, their music, their style ( they like earrings, rings and other gold jewels...). Gypsies are Desi.

  • Lindo!! Muito lindo!

  • wonderfull dance!!! great music and vocals and beautifull outfits

  • aah i don't believe this! my dancegroup is dancing on exactly the same music!!!

    and i have to say this is beautiful! i love it:D

  • do you know what this song is called?

  • you can really tell how much fun they all were having :]]

  • suuuuppppeeeerrrrrr!!!!!

  • Does this song have a name? Its in a lot of recordings and home videos of Rajasthani gypsies.

  • AWESOME

  • Check out the great Kali Ma dancing!

  • J from Poland and J from gypsy lacho bach sarenege manuszenge ale syr dykhaf do roma dre india bagen do samo celo ciro gili hehehe

  • Sstipe te bah sare romenge .Good luck to all Roma in the world nice vidio.

  • wow !!!

  • Beautiful! Awesome!

  • Uhm... Holy crap, those barrel turns are spectacular as is all of their dancing.

  • Sin Palabras...

  • they are the cousins, or rather the ancestors of actual european roma gypsies.

    There's a lot of european gypsies who can pass as rajasthani, i don't say all, but a lot, and the inverse is true too.

  • that's beautiful, long live rajasthan & it's culture

  • Beautiful!!!

  • perfect:-))

  • VERY GOOD VERY BEAUTYFUL THANKS

  • Beautiful!! 5 Stars. This video was beautiful! Thank you for sharing and posting!

  • wonderful

  • dang,i wish i could move it like that.

  • awesome

  • I love them...Truly beautiful, inspirational, and something that must be seen and treasured for always. Mahalo plenty for posting this magical moment in time.

  • thank you for this video...what can i say...its like a magic...

  • there banjaras a different kind of gypsy there not romanian

  • sherrysnake16 - I agree. The Roma and The Indians are quite distinct in culture, and even physical features. Quite, quite distinct.

  • Yes, on the surface they look VERY different. But more & more, I'm surprised by striking correspondences. Anyway, I'm not a Professor in this matter. If you google "The Pariah Syndrome", you'll find a whole book on the Roma-India connection--or any lack of it. The author is Professor Ian Hancock, a Roma Gypsy Man himself. Information from YouTubers tends to be of mixed quality; why bother with it, when you can home in on sure-fire top quality info from Prof. Hancock.

  • Oh brother, subz4155. Pure idiocy.

    We are notoriously "stick to our own" sort of people. Why under God's green earth would we want to steal Gadje babies? One thing that traditional Roma do NOT want to do is mix with Gadje... period.

    That is a stereotype along with us eating babies. I can tell you that I swore off eating babies long ago... it is bad for my waistline.

    In case you do not know, that last bit was sarcasm.

  • The only way for people to evolve is to mix with foreign bloodlines.

    And, that's what people say about witches (which I am - and we don't eat babies)! It's horrible.

    I'm mixed Russian Romani, and I get bugged about that, the same with me French and German. People think the race makes the politics, but I would have been killed during the 2nd world war for many reasons. For being Romany, mixed blood, non racist, and a witch. They killed off germans who stuck up against the Holocaust.

  • heeey! I'm also a mix blooded Romany Wiccan ^^ my other blood is Bulgarian and Greek though. I agree with what you say about human evolution. we need to move forward if we're ever going to save the planet or live a more peaceful existence. beautiful dancing.

  • And quess where I got that evolution quote from, a Canadian bollywood! I agree with it 100%. It's from Bollywood Hollywood (or is it said the other way around?), my favorite movie. :D

    I love the dance, the costume looks so heavy, and it's black, and in the desert, so it'd be really hot.

  • [With respect]: I'm not going to down vote your comment even more, because, in a way you're right. Anyway, I'm no authority. But I can point you to someone who is. If you google "The Pariah Syndrome"--it will probably be the first item listed. The author is Professor Ian Hancock, a Roma Gypsy Man himself. Information from YouTubers tends to be of mixed quality; why bother with it, when you can home in on sure-fire top quality info from Prof. Hancock.

  • ... and you are here, too, sherrysnake, starting fights.

    Stop pretending to be Roma. Dinlo.

  • beauty in diversity....this video is just awesome

  • woah these ppl r gangstas!! i luv the bit wen she spins and spins!! i defo wnt these ppl at my wedding!!! they r too gud :D

  • what a gangster. The woman is a wicked dancer! Beyoncé eat your heart out!

  • all rajasthani folk stuff rox...i made a documentary on them they consider BS Shekhawat, who has been there cm, as god coz he made them popular

  • How Beautiful.

  • actually there are many kinds of "gypsies" if you mean namads and all. but the kind that are believed to come from india and traveled thru europe are called rom or romani. they have their own language that has simular to the people in the punjab region if I've done my research right.

  • Thank you plenty for posting these great clips of a beautiful people.I love this and appreciate everything about this...from the dancing, to the singing, the music, the dress, the background...everything.

  • Well they did Blood tests on Gypsys in europe and they have Indian Blood when they trace it back...the reason why European Gypsys look different is becuase through out the hundreds of years they mix with people.

  • These are my people. We live in the Thar Desert between Pakistan's Sindh region and the Indian Rajasthani state's city of Jaisalmer. They are singing a song called the KAMAN song...people call us GYPSY but our ethnic group is called KALBELYA (NOT BANJARA. WE ARE NOT BANJARA...they are a different type of ethnic gypsy than us. BUT it is OK to call us GYPSY because we ARE ETHNIC GYPSY/NOMADS...just like everyone else in the world's ancestors used to be)

  • The word "gypsy" is a derogatory term deriving from "Egyptian". There isn't a particular country where all gypsies originated - there are different kinds of gypsies all over the world.

  • The dominant theory is that gypsys came from India originally hundreds and hundreds of years ago, They were mistaken for eguptins thus the word gyp sies... they treked and intermarried throught out the world... including Spain... look closely

  • Why are they considered gypsies? Don't gypsies derive from them?

    Ex.spanish gypsies

  • That was a beautiful dance by a beautiful performer!

  • Beautyful!

  • I really like the two snake charmers. Where's their hypnotized cobras?

  • That's discraceful to this video. Why use other sights to promote naked women?

  • One word......SKILLZ!

  • although i can get you their dresses but i am not interested in making money and if i help you my time will get wasted , and if i tell you where you can get the dresses , you will think i have earned commission . but i can tell you the address of this sapera snake charmer gypsy people , go there and order them , i dont know but can say they can sew , but i think thses clothes are dirty , look dirty and will not suit other than the wild or gypsies .

  • they sew their clothes , dresses by themselves using thread and needle by hand , collect all materials from here and there . live as you are and let them live as they are ,.!

  • i would like to have one of those

  • I've been looking for those dance costumes for ever, but I just can't find them online =( This makes me sad. I adore this dance.

  • I doubt you will too. These people make their clothes themselves. They buy all the materials and have someone from their community stitch them. Although, it is possible to find something in the big cities in India.

  • I've found loads of the hand made mirrored belts, and the hair ornaments, but just not those black skirts. I have found the more colorfull mirroed/embriderd gypsie skirts, but not the ones they dance in =/

  • Awesome! Banjara dancing looks like fun, the dancer seems as if she's having a lot of fun. The singers and musicians were great as well!

  • I'm fascinated by history of different cultures and influences their arts and religions have had world wide over generations. Globalization means many people worry about loss of identity, although what is perceived as such evolved over many generations, a mix of influences from many peoples were adopted to assume a new identity of our own. some western cultures are once again in the melting pot, my own included, it'll be interesting to see what emerges in future.

  • It always amazes me how people attribute globalization to be a new phenomenon. It has always existed and is the reason you see similarities between the gypsies of India and Europe. It is also the reason we see similarities between our languages and looks. An attempt to preserve any culture by ceasing its ability to diversify and evolve is a crime. Everything evolves, it is the nature of the human civilization.
