Sinti and Roma

Sinti and Roma are ethnic groups originating from South Asia who have lived in Europe for centuries. They share cultural traditions, languages (like Romani), and a history of mobility and nomadism. Often collectively called Roma, they have faced discrimination, marginalization, and persecution across different countries. Despite challenges, many Sinti and Roma maintain vibrant cultural practices, music, and crafts. They are diverse communities with unique identities, histories, and languages, contributing richly to European cultural mosaic while continuing to fight for recognition and equal rights.
