Yes im indeed of mixed ancestry. My father is 1/4 roma and 3/4 serbian. My mother is 1/8 russian and rest roma. Im however more than half roma 9/16. So i guess the indian phenotype prevails. I dont pass as european to the locals they ask me "where im from"

I guess you want to know from which part of India you came .Maybe a sample of pictures from different roma groups will put a light in this matter.

Now ,its hard to tell from which region of India they came.Especially if they are mixed.A bengali or marathi mixed whit an european could look like a kashmirian or punjabi .

But most agree that most of romas came from a single region of India so we need the pictures of many romas from different backgrounds and regions and make a comparison whit native people from different region of India.

so here are link to diferent romas that i find;you can put more of them

Hey RomaIndian



For the last picture, if you had not mentioned that they are Euro Gypsies, I would have assumed them to be North Western Indians, !!





Thanks

Italian justice has ruled that begging is a "cultural tradition" of Roma
