History of the Roma ("Gypsies"), part 1 -- From Ancient Origins to the Eighteenth Century

[@tammijatti9164]

Hey Sam! So good to hear your voice. And such an awesome subject! One that I have been interested in for a long time. I’m about 24 minutes in, and you are talking about a group called the Zott. Or at least, that’s how the Persians seem to be pronouncing it. I’m almost 100% sure that that is my own ethnic/tribal people group, and we, depending on where in South Asia we are, pronounce it differently. Usually, when it’s spelled in English, it’s spelled either Jat or Jatt. Actually, one of my sons uses it as a last name. He spells it Jatt. In Punjab, it’s pronounced Jutt. People who speak Hindi or Urdu, usually pronounce it Jott. A lot of the time, when South Asian words having a J sound enter the Persian language, the J turns into a Z sound. In our particular tribe, very very bold stories exist telling about a time when many members of the tribe left and headed west, and never came back. I don’t know enough of them really to give you much more than that. I am Canadian born and raised, and I’m still learning my ancestors traditions. But I just wanted to give you that little tidbit.

Well not all so called gypsy tribes left India in the same time .. there’s the ghawazee tribe they left to Egypt more than 2000 years ago before Christianity existed ever since than they been living there and they still speak the same gypsy Sanskrit language as every where else they were sent away from India by the aryan Hindus .. than there’s the Sinti and Doma tribes they left India majority of them in the 5th century to Iran Persia because they were tired of wars their lands were totally destroyed so they left as refugees .. than the Rom in the north of India Calè in south India Rajasthan they were destroyed by Islamist who come to India to destroy and to rob Hindus of their golds they were called the ghaznavi’s lead by sultan mehmmod ghazni as their leader from Afghanistan they managed to destroy many villages burn down many Hindu temples with their people in it Rom Cale Punjab Rayput tribes tried to stop them but they couldn’t and when they left they taken about 1 million rom Cale Hindu military tribes who were fighting against them with their families and they were taken to Iran Persia in the 10th century they become over there servants metal workers and entertainers from metal they created swords ⚔️ horse shoes and many other military and non military stuff like gold or baskets 🧺 where you could put your weapons also many of Roma man those had experience as soldiers had to fight and etc and the entertainer gypsies were entertained army’s and their kings with music and dance .. this how they lived in Iran for 400 years .. than war break out and the majority of these gypsies left to turkey around 13th century they lived the same life just like in Iran but now they worked for the ottoman army in turkey 🇹🇷 and than ottomans asked more from them short time latter to spy and kill for their army and many Roma and other tribes said no and those become slaved and a small percentage of them escaped to Europe in 13th century and than the majority of them were taken to Europe as slaves and also servants to the ottoman army in the 14th till the 16th century .. this is the stories of the European roma .. they also mixed with others where they lived for centuries they are mixed groups between Indian Iranian Turkish and those who lives in Europe since the old days also have little bit of European mix in them ..

I think that is actually correct, in that one branch of the Roma migration, also called the Ghuraba, did live for a long period in Egypt, before migrating further west, according to research by Kristina Richardson, at CUNY, which a listener pointed out to me.

Very interesting. My Granny came from a section of Romania that had became part of Hungary. She was adopted by a Jewish family and came to Canada through the US with my Hungarian peasant grandfather in the early 1800. When she was around 15. She was told she was cursed by a fortune teller who told her she had to travel across an ocean to break the curse. I strongly believe she was Roma. It was known by family members that Granny was a gypsy.

Many have theorized that the "Therapeutae" of Egypt, discussed in Philo, were hindu monks who came to Alexandria due to its well documented trade with India. Why is there no possibility that the Greeks were right when they called the Gypsies Egyptian? If it's possible that Hindu monks came to Egypt through its trade, why couldn't that have been the path to Europe for the ancestors of the Roma?

[@Historiansplaining]

A current historian, Kristina Richardson, has recently researched the Roma community in Egypt, called Ghuraba, and it does seem very likely that at least one major Roma migration into Europe derived from that group. This is a very new and evolving field. You can see her discuss the Ghuraba in various places such as here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4O2lah5qJh0nMk

I thought it important to describe some parts of this cannon because this rare article accurately describes the historical events in question. Historical Narrative Historians and ethnologists who claim that the Roma came from the Indiesa Milia, because they rely only on one-sided knowledge. Their theory is based only on the linguistic level and does not take into account the Roma culture as a whole, which is more important for their identity than just their acquired language, which they use to communicate. If we agreed with this theory, we should consider all American blacks to be English. This theory is speculative and not correct. Sándor and Vraham greatly contributed to the disinformation about the Indian origin of the Roma, and the Roma themselves, when they wanted to deny their Jewish origin, invented various false stories about their real origin. However, the main blame for this lies with the forgers and misinformers of ancient history. There is a lot of Hebrew ancestry in Romani culture because they come from Israel not India and they are originally Hebrew Israelites. It is clear from irrefutable historical evidence that the Roma are the Jews of Samaria and are the people of the northern kingdom of Israel. Their capital was Samaria in northern Israel until 737-720 BC Now let's talk about Israel and Samaria. A historical biblical name used for the central region of the land of Israel, bounded on the south by Judea and on the north by Galilee. The first-century historian and Josephus set the Mediterranean Sea in the west and the Jordan River in the east as the boundary. Its territory largely corresponds to the biblical allotments of the tribe of Ephraim and the western half of the tribe of Manasseh. After Solomon's death and the division of his kingdom into the southern Kingdom of Judah and the northern Kingdom of Israel, this territory formed the southern part of the Kingdom of Israel. The border between Samaria and Judea was established at the latitude of Ramallah.

I am sorry to say it though, but your description of the origin of the Roma is a mix of fable and wishful thinking. In regards to the origin of the Roma, there is plenty of anthropological, genetic and linguistic evidence in scholarly journals on this subject (which you can look up yourself on google scholar or academia - if you were *really* genuinely interested). The homeland of the proto-Roma population has been confirmed as the Northwestern Indian subcontinent, and they were likely Dalits. Marrying among yourselves (endogamy), makes this sort of genetic detective work easier as founder lineages are preserved, amongst other things.

There really is not such a thing as half blood because no Romani is a full romani, they would have had to have never bread with any person from india to the west and that just is not the case. So all Romani are genetically only part Romani. Culturally if you have two romani parents you can say you are a proper romani in a way . Also being dark skinned does not make you more romani. British Romany even a hundred years back and on the oldest photos do not look that dark skinned often. Romani is indian and also northern pakistan Buruskho who are very very light skinned and often blue eyed.
