Gypsy (Rajput clan)
Gypsy (Hindi: जिप्सी राजपूत) is a clan, sub-caste or nomadic tribe of Rajputs who left North India and were sheltered in Europe.[1][2][3] The Gyps also (spelt as) Gypsies, Gipsy are culturally and lingustically and genetically related to India.[4][5] The Genetic Study shows Gypsies are descended from Indian untouchables (Dalits), and they share common ancestry with Indian Dalits.[6][7]
Origin[edit]
Genetic study and some historians suggest origin of Gypsy is certainly associated with India.[8] Sansi Rajputs of Punjab indicated as Rajput.[9]
Scholars are not clear on exact known record of migration of Gypsies from India to Europe in medieval period times that can be connected certainly to the Gypsy and its challenging for them to give final verdic on the exact date of migration of Roma people from India to Europe.[10][11][12][13]
Some linguistic research has concluded that the core of the Roma language originated from India, their language has grammatical characteristics of Indian languages and shares with them a large part of the common vocabulary, for example, regading body parts or matters of daily life.[14][15][16]
History[edit]
The historical records of the Romani reaching south-eastern Europe are from the 14th century: in 1322, after leaving Ireland on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Irish Franciscan friar Symon Semeonis encountered a migrant group of Romani outside the town of Candia (modern Heraklion), in Crete, calling them "the descendants of Cain"; his account is the earliest surviving description by a Western chronicler of the Romani in Europe.[17][18][19][20][21][22]
