Romani heritage

Romani heritage refers to the cultural, linguistic, and historical identity of the Romani people, an ethnic group originating from northern India around a millennium ago. Traveling across Eurasia over centuries, they developed unique traditions, languages (like Romani), music, and social practices. Despite facing discrimination and marginalization, Romani communities preserve their distinct heritage through dance, storytelling, craftsmanship, and community bonds. Their culture emphasizes resilience, adaptability, and a rich oral history that reflects their journey, struggles, and vibrant traditions that continue to thrive worldwide.
