I know romani say that, indian government says that, and non-romani and non-indians like europeans say that, but i wouldnt have written it like that or teach it like that because they are not only indian... just quoting the findings of the origin of the y-dna is not enough for the whole picture, they quote the findings based on y-dna is not the complete picture

Origin
The Romani people originate from Northern India,[18][19][20][21][22][23] presumably from the northwestern Indian states Rajasthan[22][23] and Punjab.[22]

The linguistic evidence has indisputably shown that roots of Romani language lie in India: the language has grammatical characteristics of Indian languages and shares with them a big part of the basic lexicon, for example, body parts or daily routines.[24]

More exactly, Romani shares the basic lexicon with Hindi and Punjabi. It shares many phonetic features with Marwari, while its grammar is closest to Bengali.[25]

Genetic findings in 2012 suggest the Romani originated in northwestern India and migrated as a group.[19][20][26] According to a genetic study in 2012, the ancestors of present scheduled tribes and scheduled caste populations of northern India, traditionally referred to collectively as the Ḍoma, are the likely ancestral populations of modern European Roma.[27]

In February 2016, during the International Roma Conference, the Indian Minister of External Affairs stated that the people of the Roma community were children of India. The conference ended with a recommendation to the Government of India to recognize the Roma community spread across 30 countries as a part of the Indian diaspora.[28]

They are traced back to india but that was over 1.500 years ago i would have written that a bit different then just saying they are "indians" "or indian diaspora" that sounds as if they are like nikki haley or sunak rishak.
