In a word, NO. This is because Kaliyuga began with the end of the Mahabharata war. The Indian idea of cyclical Itihasa is markedly different from the linear history. Roma people was said to have left India in the 16th century, taken by Islamic imperial forces, as courtesans and court musicians, who in course of time came to Europe. They were clubbed together as Europe's own Gypsies. Because Europe was obsessed with Biblical fairy tales from Genesis, old testament, they could not reconcile with a darker skinned pagans, who could not be deconstructed within their own narrow religious worldview. This started the wave of savage persecutions on your ancestors. It had nothing to do with India , or very large historical epicycles like the Yugas.

Gypsies were very different in Europe, they were dark skinned and didnt fit into the Christian Theology of that Time.
