Roma Diaspora

The Roma Diaspora refers to the widespread dispersal of the Romani people from their origins in northern India to various parts of Europe, the Americas, and elsewhere. Over centuries, they migrated due to factors like persecution, economic opportunities, and social pressures, establishing communities across many countries. This movement has resulted in a diverse yet connected group sharing cultural traditions, language, and history. Despite facing discrimination and marginalization, the Roma maintain their identity through music, customs, and social networks, making the diaspora an important aspect of their collective identity and history.
