Roma people

Roma people, also known as Romani or Gypsies, are a diverse ethnic group originating from northern India around a thousand years ago. They migrated across Europe and other regions, maintaining distinct languages, cultures, and traditions. Often faced with discrimination and social exclusion, Roma communities vary widely in lifestyle, with some living traditionally as artisans, musicians, or nomads, while others are integrated into urban societies. Despite challenges, they preserve rich cultural heritage, including music, dance, and crafts. Recognizing their history and rights promotes understanding and respect for their unique identity within multicultural societies.
