Honsol, just so you understand, was not trying to slight Romania, or make it out to be a monstrous nation, or in any way worse in treating Roma than other European countries have been/might still be. A brief glance at those two links

will easily show how many different European countries have been and continue to mistreat Roma. Spain's abominable genocide of Roma some centuries back is part of history classes, and Slovakia's sterilisation campaign is shown in documentaries around the world, Germany - well, that's well-known too; other countries like Poland and England which I didn't know about are mentioned in the above links.
There's nearly no European country that doesn't/didn't appear to wish the Roma to an early grave. Here's (2):
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In 1980, the Polish government forcibly deported groups of Romanies by boat, after having confiscated any documents which would have allowed their re-entry into that country.81 At this time, the Czechoslovakian government is maintaining a program of compulsory sterilization of Romani women and taking away their children;82 <b>and in 1984, a city councilor for the City of Bradford, England called for the extermination of Romanies</b>.83 Deportation, sterilization and recommended extermination, not forty years ago, but all within the past decade.
From: Uniqueness of the Victims: Gypsies, Jews and the Holocaust by Ian Hancock<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->I don't know Romania personally (beyond liking the music of Enigma which is by Curly M.C., and admiring a Romanian actress who comes in German movies), but common sense tells me that there must be many people there who would not go around tormenting fellow humans.
Since this is not the nazi-era, everyone would know that fascist groups are not representative of any nation at large (excepting ethnic Albanians in Kosovo who seem to be competing for such infamy), hence in pasting those links I was not making any accusations against any one country's people. Fascists are a breed apart. People would know that.
Writing the above doesn't mean I'm hoping for christoislamic Roma moving to India and trying to convert the Hindu populace to christoism/islamism. We have enough of christoislamiterrorism in our country as it is. Their faith in religions that have tormented them makes it very scary indeed. Hindu Roma are welcome, areligious and non-political (non-psecular/non-communist/non-anti-Hindu) Roma are welcome too IMO. But I wish the christo kind (including Wendy's Child Jeffrey Kripal) will keep to christian countries and the islami kind keep to dar-ul-islams, and leave us in peace. We don't want to be 'saved from heathenism'.
