The Romani (also spelled Romany; /ˈroʊməni/, /ˈrɒ-/), or Roma, are a traditionally itinerant ethnic group living mostly in Europe and the Americas, who originate from the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent, specifically from NorthernIndia, presumably from the northwestern Indian states Rajasthan,Haryana and Punjab. The Romani are widely known among English-speaking people by the exonym and racial slur "Gypsies" (or "Gipsies"), which, according to many Romani people, connotes illegality and irregularity. Other exonyms are Ashkali and Sinti.
Romani are dispersed, with their concentrated populations in Europe — especially Central, Eastern and Southern Europe including Turkey, Spain and Southern France. They originated in Northern India and arrived in Mid-West Asia, then Europe, around 1,000 years ago, either separating from the Dom people or, at least, having a similar history; the ancestors of both the Romani and the Dom left North India sometime between the sixth and eleventh century.

The Struggle for Survival of the Roma People: Europe's Most Hated
Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News
In January, European Union restrictions on Romania and Bulgaria were lifted, meaning citizens of those countries were free to travel and work throughout the EU. This inspired anger in wealthier countries like the UK, where people anticipated a flood of migrants looking to take advantage of relatively generous welfare systems. This anger was directed most fiercely at the Roma.
Europe's largest ethnic minority — also known as gypsies — has long endured bigotry and abuse. This year, they've been a boon to rightwing politicians who've used them to garner support for anti-immigration policies and achieve significant electoral victories.

Forgotten History: the Romani (Gypsy) Migration from India to Europe
The Romani (colloquially known as the "Gypsies") are a community of European itinerants with surprising origins in northwest India. In this video, we explore the fascinating histories of two distinct Romani groups: the Roma and the Sinti. From surviving Turkic and Arab invasions, to navigating the complex social worlds of unfamiliar lands in the Middle East and Europe, this is the tale of migrant peoples who made a life for themselves despite extraordinary circumstances.

Europe’s Problem With The Roma
The Romani people have been a part of European culture for centuries — Charlie Chaplin and flamenco both have Romani origins. But this ethnic group (also known by more derogatory names like “gypsies”) has been discriminated against for hundreds of years, culminating in the death of hundreds of thousands of them in the Holocaust. And the Romani still face open bigotry today. We’re going to look at who the Roma people are and their ongoing fight for respect and survival.

On the word "Gypsy":
"Gypsy" comes from the word "Egyptian", because prior to the late 18th century, Europeans & Gypsies themselves believed they came from Egypt. The word "Roma" means "man/person" in the Gypsy language, and prior to basically the 1950s the Gypsies didn't even think of themselves as a coherent group, but different clans and families.
If we're talking about the more colloquial word for Gypsies in Eastern Europe, "cigan, cigány, țigan", it comes from the Greek "antsigan" which means untouchable. However, outside of Greece, most didn't know the meaning of the word (surprise surprise medieval peasants were monolingual). Later in the 16th century due to Gypsies becoming the majority of the slave population in the Ottoman empire & the Balkans, the versions of "antsigan" became synonymous with slave. However, the words "Slav/Sclav" also meant slave as Ottomans had laws of considering non-Muslims their property.
In modern times the meaning of the word was lost, and many associated the negative qualities to the word because of association and negative context. The push for not using the word and using "Roma" is relatively new and came about in the 90s. However, within the Gypsy community in the Balkans there has been a counter movement against the use of the word "Roma". From a standpoint of several reasons.
1. Being the retaking of a word & meaning
2. In traditional Gypsy circles, it is not acceptable for foreigners aka "gadje" to speak Gypsy as it was kept a secret language from them due to oppression.
If you ask a Gypsy in the Balkans how they prefer to be called, the majority of the time they will say "Gypsy". I haven't really seen anyone but westerners and western raised Gypsies make a fuss over this word. Hell, I have a Gypsy aunt inlaw who is adamant on the term "Gypsy" over "Roma". If someone does ask me from the community to not refer that way, I will. But overall in both Serbia, Romania, and Hungary the term amongst the Gypsy population is not seen as a slur.
Many Romanians & Romanian gypsies actually are pushing against the use of the word "Roma" due to being too similar to "Romanian". From the Gypsy perspective the case being they don't want their cultural identity to be erased and taken as Romanians, while Romanians don't want to be mistaken for Gypsies (which is a whole other story in itself)

Yet, when talking about history, very rarely are the Roma mentioned or talked about. In this video we go over the origin of the Roma in India, their migration across the Silk Road and into the Balkans, their life in the Balkans & under the Ottoman Empire, the 20th century, their life under communism & finally modern times.

However, the words "Slav/Sclav" also meant slave as Ottomans had laws of considering non-Muslims their property.
In modern times the meaning of the word was lost, and many associated the negative qualities to the word because of association and negative context. The push for not using the word and using "Roma" is relatively new and came about in the 90s. However, within the Gypsy community in the Balkans there has been a counter movement against the use of the word "Roma". From a standpoint of several reasons.
1. Being the retaking of a word & meaning
2. In traditional Gypsy circles, it is not acceptable for foreigners aka "gadje" to speak Gypsy as it was kept a secret language from them due to oppression.
If you ask a Gypsy in the Balkans how they prefer to be called, the majority of the time they will say "Gypsy". I haven't really seen anyone but westerners and western raised Gypsies make a fuss over this word. Hell, I have a Gypsy aunt inlaw who is adamant on the term "Gypsy" over "Roma". If someone does ask me from the community to not refer that way, I will. But overall in both Serbia, Romania, and Hungary the term amongst the Gypsy population is not seen as a slur.
Many Romanians & Romanian gypsies actually are pushing against the use of the word "Roma" due to being too similar to "Romanian". From the Gypsy perspective the case being they don't want their cultural identity to be erased and taken as Romanians, while Romanians don't want to be mistaken for Gypsies (which is a whole other story in itself)

In January, European Union restrictions on Romania and Bulgaria were lifted, meaning citizens of those countries were free to travel and work throughout the EU. This inspired anger in wealthier countries like the UK, where people anticipated a flood of migrants looking to take advantage of relatively generous welfare systems. This anger was directed most fiercely at the Roma.
Europe's largest ethnic minority — also known as gypsies — has long endured bigotry and abuse. This year, they've been a boon to rightwing politicians who've used them to garner support for anti-immigration policies and achieve significant electoral victories.
VICE News examines the so-called "Roma influx" by visiting a Roma community in northern England, then traveling to Romania to meet a group of Roma who have just been evicted from their homes and don't have the money to leave the country to seek out better lives.

The Romani (colloquially known as the "Gypsies") are a community of European itinerants with surprising origins in northwest India. In this video, we explore the fascinating histories of two distinct Romani groups: the Roma and the Sinti. From surviving Turkic and Arab invasions, to navigating the complex social worlds of unfamiliar lands in the Middle East and Europe, this is the tale of migrant peoples who made a life for themselves despite extraordinary circumstances.

The Romani people have been a part of European culture for centuries — Charlie Chaplin and flamenco both have Romani origins. But this ethnic group (also known by more derogatory names like “gypsies”) has been discriminated against for hundreds of years, culminating in the death of hundreds of thousands of them in the Holocaust. And the Romani still face open bigotry today. We’re going to look at who the Roma people are and their ongoing fight for respect and survival.

On January the first, restrictions on Romanian and Bulgarian citizens who want to live and work here will be relaxed. So will that lead to more Roma coming to Britain? .
What come to your mind when hearing of the word “Gypsies”? People might have different point of views toward this word. From the past to present, Romani people have struggles on attaching to the society. Dijana Pavlović, as an actress and activist for Roma rights, shares with us how the Roma are (dis)connected by her personal experience and how we can create a more diverse as well as multi-cultural world in the future. Dijana Pavlovic is an actress and activist for Roma rights.
She obtained a degree in Dramatic Arts in Belgrade in 1998 and has been living and working in Milan since 1999.
She is the president and co-founder of several associations related to the Roma culture and society such as ERIAC and the Kethane Movement and she is spokesperson of "Consulta Rom e Sinti di Milano". This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

The Romani (also spelled Romany; /ˈroʊməni/, /ˈrɒ-/), or Roma, are a traditionally itinerant ethnic group living mostly in Europe and the Americas, who originate from the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent, specifically from NorthernIndia, presumably from the northwestern Indian states Rajasthan,Haryana and Punjab. The Romani are widely known among English-speaking people by the exonym and racial slur "Gypsies" (or "Gipsies"), which, according to many Romani people, connotes illegality and irregularity. Other exonyms are Ashkali and Sinti.
Romani are dispersed, with their concentrated populations in Europe — especially Central, Eastern and Southern Europe including Turkey, Spain and Southern France. They originated in Northern India and arrived in Mid-West Asia, then Europe, around 1,000 years ago, either separating from the Dom people or, at least, having a similar history; the ancestors of both the Romani and the Dom left North India sometime between the sixth and eleventh century.
