how much indian are gypsies culturally still

[Mortimer]

I'm not Indian. I just hate them for being nothing but thieves. And for sending gypsies to Europe.

DO YOU KNOW WHY GYPSIES EXIST TODAY? BECAUSE OF TURK INVASION. Even though gypsies in europe are mainly non-indian. They have little to do with Indian now.

genetically they average a half, phenotypically they are probably diverse depends on the community but with many in eastern and southeastern europe who could well blend in, in india. but culturally? they dont have indian names, how much indian traditions do they have, and beliefs etc. and culture? most indians would argue that gypsies have nothing in common with them, and that culture is the most important, what do you think?

They are as Indian as Brazilian Mulattoes are Nigerian.

Are there any genetic studies done on romas?

[Han Cholo]

Not much. But that doesn't mean they're culturally Serbian/Spanish/Hungarian/Slovak or whatever country they live in either. They're different enough from any subcontinent group but also different from the countries they reside in.

Or rather, they are as Indian as Butlerking, which essentially means they are NOT Indian.

they look more indian then mullatos look black though (eventhough genetics says otherwise). but culturally probably they are not much indian but distinct etc.

also there are mixed indians like anglo-indians or even rahul ghandi who are accepted as indian. it is racist to say mixed people are not indians, and double standard, rahul ghandi isnt indian either then. and many gypsies look more indian then him.

Isn't it because Gypsies also have many admixture from outside India, on their way from Afghanistan, Persia, Iraq, Syria, Turkey?

what do you try to say? i didnt got your point in response to my post. but i dont know how much admixture they have from those people etc. and if any etc. also i dont trust genetic studies really, i think gypsies are much more indian. and they dont look mideastern to me, they wouldnt pass in mideast

Bruce,

However, Anglo Indians are a recent admixture and they are a social class IN INDIA. Gypsies have been outside of India for over a millenia so they are quite disconnected from India.
