Hindu/Indian Culture Outside India
#77
Buddy, first of all the word "Adivasi" is sort of a literal translation of the English word Aborigines which according to Wikipedia means "from the origin" or native or indigenous to a landmass. Now, the quandary is that,if Adivasis are indigenous , then are we, the other Indians immigrants? This picture is provided to us by the fairy tale of the so called "Aryan Invasion Theory". But recent genetic studies and lack of an evidence of an invasion from archeological sources have basically sealed this conjecture. Long story short, all Indians are native to this landmass called Bharat or Aryavarta for the last 60,000 years. And besides Indian society had a separate name for them, called Vanavasis ( for communities living in forests) , and girijans (for peoples traditionally living in mountains). We are all Adivasis , i.e indigenous to this great civilization.





As to the second part of your question, yes, educated net savvy Indians are indeed aware of the plight of the Roma people , and the savage persecution they had to go through in the so called civilized Europe. We are aware they you guys did emerge from India somewhere in the mid 16th century, and in time arrive in Europe. Unfortunately most Indians are not aware of them (those without internet surfing capabilities). You have to appreciate that India herself had to go through unimaginable suffering in the last thousand year. It is only now that Indians have some breathing room for activities outside basic survival. You can be certain that if India's per capita income , defense capability , economic muscle reaches a certain threshold, and if nationalists can have uninterrupted reign for a fair amount of time, Mother India would indeed extend a helping hand to her helpless children every where in the world.
