Do you consider Romani as "Southasian" broadly or their own thing?

[Mortimer]

honestly i don't but if a Roma considers himself/herself South Asian, i don't have any problem

i know roma who do and roma who hate being associated with india, i didnt know that before, but i discovered on facebook some roma who claim they are from middle east/israel. so there are roma who take pride in indian origins and roma who say thats fake and roma are from middle east/israel (but they acknowledge roma lived long in india and took up indian genetics but they think their ultimate first origins are in israel)
