nobody said YOU are indian... this just the history of origins..gypsies were a low caste of musicians belonging to the Rajasthan area of India, but that was long, long ago, even if gypsies communities sstill exists there; since then, Rom people has been spread all over the world, and are no indians anymore.

My family are English Romanies and their full dna profile was taken and even though we know of English, Irish and Jewish admixture in our blood - our blood was still 1/4 Indian and approx. 1/3 Eastern European. So it seems to bear out. We must have had very pure Romani blood. I'm proud of our exotic heritage personally.

The song in the beginning reminds me of my childhood in the Rajasthan desert. The song is about one's mother.

It says that my mother was a sister of seven brothers (that is considered something of great fortune that a woman has seven brothers as a brother is considered a great protector in Rajasthani culture). he song goes on to say how she was married with great hopes.

That's an oximoron, there are lots of dialects in the gypsy culture.

This a capella song fills me with energy, I found gypsy culture quite interesting, and their music is indeed something special, gypsy jazz and flamenco came from it, it is no coincidence. I'm Mexican 3rd generation of Spanish and French immigrants, still I feel this so close.

Our DNA reveals we came from India and our language comes from Sanskrit. Rom is simply Sanskrit for man. Along our journeys we have absorbed culture and blood from the many places and given back music and dance like Flamenco. In the cold sun of Europe our skin has lightened. Gypsy's in India have been changed by time but are closer to our common ancestors than we are. When I see Indian Gypsy's I see the origin of our culture and feel pride that we always sang and danced.

Yes u. r. right the Roma are not from India.....it is only some European theory.which is political bullish nothing more ...but did you know that this people on the video r the Huns= Scythian s????

[TrunkDaPhunk]

....to us this is something profound. But to them its everyday life. We are so disconnected.

Hola, en primer lugar gracias por dar a conocer esta estupenda película.

En segundo lugar, la escena en España no es de Andalucía, sino de Badajoz (viene en los créditos):

THE SPANISH PART IS NOT ANDALUCÍA BUT BADAJOZ
