Hindus want historical atrocities on Gypsies be included in school textbooks of Europe

[CelticViking]

Coming up with a solution to end maltreatment of gypsies in Europe, a Hindu statesman has demanded that their issues of apartheid, persecution and maltreatment, among others be included in the history textbooks - this would bring transparency, he has argued.

HINDUS STRESS that apartheid, atrocities, repression and persecution faced by Roma (Gypsies) in Europe for centuries should be included in the history textbooks of European schools. Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that Europe had been practically ignoring many mass atrocities and repression suffered by Roma for centuries; including those associated with Holocaust, concentration camps, genocide, fascist persecution and maltreatment, enslavement, internment, expulsion, mob violence, etc.

Inclusion of atrocities against Roma in Europe over centuries, their culture and history in school curriculum would bring transparency and better understanding among coming generations of the communities, Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, argued.

Zed also suggested building memorials honoring Roma victims of maltreatment over centuries and museums displaying their traditions/ history and apartheid faced by them. When would this group of about 15-million Roma, living in Europe since around ninth century, be treated at par with other Europeans, Zed asked.

The Roma are not Hindus anymore.

Everyone wants their memorials. People should not encourage a culture of victimhood. Why must Europe be littered with monuments of death and destruction? Build for the future, don't dwell in the past.

Maybe they should all be sent back to India and have these atrocities included in their school textbooks.

Actually... I would like atrocities done against ethnic Germans both during and after WW2 included in school textbooks. Anybody with me?
