Roma

Roma refers to an ethnic group primarily originating from India who migrated to Europe over centuries, forming distinct communities across various countries. Often referred to as Romani or Gypsies, they have a rich cultural heritage with unique traditions, languages, and music. Despite their vibrant culture, Roma face significant social challenges, including discrimination, poverty, and marginalization in many societies. Their history is marked by struggles for recognition and rights, and efforts continue to address these issues while celebrating their cultural contributions to the broader European and global tapestry.
