It is really interesting to know how and where you have come from. I am an Aryan born in Nepal and right from my childhood I had a deep thought about my origin as well. Aryans are not an indigenous people of Nepal; most of them have reached Nepal migrating through India. But that was not my main concern, I was more concerned about how the whole map of Aryan people movement from the very beginning, when there were no boarders or continents.

The racial interpretation of linguistical evidence is even shakier than Hitler’s geography. |

Who Are the Gypsies?
It is not only in the highly romanticized versions of popular lore that the "Gypsies" are shrouded in mystery; scientific accounts of their origins reflect some degree of uncertainty as well. It appears that the term "gypsy" is a corruption of "Egyptian," reflecting the widespread belief during the Middle Ages that these people were of Egyptian origin. It is most likely that they originated in northern India, in the Punjab region. Another interpretation claims that they acquired the name "gypsies" from their settlement in the Greek Peloponneseus near a village named "Gyppe" (see Burleigh and Wippermann, 1991:331n). The people fairly consistently call themselves Rom, or Roma. What is known about the Sinti and Roma is that they arrived in Germany in the late 1400's after a series of migrations which brought them from northern India, through Persia, Asia Minor and Greece, the Balkan and Slavic States, to Austria and Germany. Along the way, they converted to Christianity. Also, along the way, they acquired a wide range of stereotypes including "accomplices to the Crucifixion," thieves, practitioners of the magic arts, beggars, etc. Their itenerant lifestyles, non-conventional behaviors and mystical image brought them under governmental suspicion from the early Middle Ages on. They were fairly consistently defined as "stateless" wanderers, a threat to the moral order and a burden upon society. http://frank.mtsu.edu/~baustin/gypsies.html http://books.google.co.cr/books?id=u...0gypsy&f=false |
