Hey I’m a huge fan of your Scarlet Witch blog! This may sound weird but I didn’t know who else to ask. I’m Indian and I learnt that the Roma were originally from India through your blog actually. No one really knows who the Romani are in India. But anyway, I wanted to ask if the Romani population considers themselves to be a part of the Indian diaspora or holds any ties to the country. I only ask because there are many cultural groups who migrated a while ago due to colonization but they still consider themselves to be a part of the diaspora, but I don’t really know anything about the Romani.

Hello! This is a nuanced subject, so I'm afraid my answer ran a bit long, but I hope you find it informative.

I know for a fact that Romani people are not entirely unknown in India. In modern history, Indian leaders and politicians have recognized the Roma as an Indian diaspora several times, including former Prime Minister Indira Ghandi, all the way back in the 1970s. And there are Indian scholars, such as Shyam Singh Shashi, Ph.D, who've conducted significant work on the history and origins of the Roma people. In 2016, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj named the Roma as "children of India," and in 2018, the Croation Romani Union held several meetings with Indian leaders, including President Ram Nath Kovind, who met with Union leader Veljko Kajtazi at the office of the Croatian president.

Gaining institutional recognition as an Asian diaspora has been a vital part of our movement towards civil rights and legal representation. Because so much of our history and our circumstances in the West have been obscured by false narratives, just having the ability to advocate for ourselves as a racial minority-- with identifiable origins-- was something we've really had to fight for. And from an academic perspective, having the ability to represent ourselves and use modern linguistics and genetics to verify our history is also an important form of resitution.

The Romani diaspora is also incredibly diverse, with many different identities and dialects, so being able to unite under a common origin has been very helpful for organizing, especially on an international level. That's why it's often emphasized by events such as the World Romani Congress, particularly when it comes to unifying symbols, such as the international Romani flag-- which, as you may have noticed, contains a red wheel, or dharmachakra, inspired by the Indian flag.

Having said all that-- I don't personally know any Romani people who identify as Asian or Indian, purely on the basis of being Roma. Obviously, mixed people exist. But within the culture, Romani identity is typically predicated on its own set of rules and values, rather than one's genetic lineage or racial makeup, and for most of our history, we've really identified as our own distinct group. In my experience, a lot of people actually primarily identify by their vitsa, which is a smaller, more specific population within the diaspora. For example, I'm gitano, and I have friends who are Sinti, and we're more likely to use those words to describe ourselves, especially if we're talking firsthand about our families.

If you think about how the diaspora originated as a displaced population and began migrating west, then split off into smaller groups and arrived in Europe at different times, you can see that our cultural and communal identities-- and our languages-- developed in transit. As I said, much of our history has been lost and distorted, and it wasn't until relatively recently that we had the access and ability to retrace this part of our origin, so it's just not, traditionally, how we think of ourselves. In the present day, though, I think it's become more popular to place emphasis on our Asian roots, for all the reasons I've described, but also because it provides context for our shared language, customs, and spiritual beliefs. For example, there are goddess figures who appear in many permutations of Roma culture that are derived from Hindu belief, although they've taken on their own unique identities along the way, just as we have.

As we move towards the future, it is increasingly necessary that we open ourselves up to outsiders and figure out how to become more laterally united, without compromising our distinct, diverse identities. These things are difficult to navigate, and I don't wish to speak on them, but I think a lot of Roma are reconsidering what it means to be Romani people in the world, and finding different ways to relate to our Indian origin is gonna be a big part of that.

Raag Rageshree presented with Aalap, Jod, Bandish and Jhala.

It was an honour to have my first studio recording with the blessings of Pandit Ram Kumar Mishra sir. Sincere gratitude.

"Sounds of Serendipity" is a beautiful Indian classical composition on Raag Rageshree, a melodious raga in the Hindustani classical music tradition. Raag Rageshree, often performed during the late evening, evokes a sense of calmness and tranquility. The composition "Sounds of Serendipity" captures this mood by weaving together intricate melodies and rhythms that reflect the serene and soothing qualities of the raga. In this composition, the interplay of melody and rhythm creates a sense of serendipity, where each note seems to flow effortlessly into the next, leading to moments of spontaneous beauty. The music embodies the spirit of discovery, where the listener is taken on a journey of unexpected yet delightful musical turns, much like serendipitous moments in life.

One Nation One Election bill is a bold and ambitious piece of legislation introduced in the Indian Parliament by the Modi government. This proposal seeks to synchronize elections for the central and state governments, aiming to streamline the electoral process, reduce costs, and enhance efficiency. A committee was formed under the leadership of former President Ram Nath Kovind to assess the feasibility of implementing the One Nation One Election concept. The committee’s task was to thoroughly examine the potential challenges and benefits of synchronizing elections across India, including constitutional, legal and logistical considerations.

(PTI)The Centre will introduce the ‘One Nation, One Election’ (ONOP) Bill in the Lok Sabha at noon on Tuesday (December 17). The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has issued a three-line whip to all MPs in Lok Sabha ahead of the introduction of the bill.The Centre on Monday listed two bills to be introduced by Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal in the Lower House of the Parliament on Tuesday – the ONOP Bill, also known as The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024, and The Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill.Following this announcement, BJP’s National Democratic Alliance (NDA) ally Telugu Desam Party (TDP) also issued a whip to all its MPs in the Lok Sabha, and Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) also asked all MPs to be present in the House.Last week, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Union Cabinet approved the Constitutional Amendment Bill to roll out the concept of simultaneous Lok Sabha and state assembly polls. This bill will be introduced by Meghwal in the Lower House on Tuesday.After its introduction, Meghwal is expected to request Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to refer the Bill to a Joint Committee of Parliament for wider consultations. The joint panel will be constituted on a pro-rata basis, based on the strength of MPs of various parties.ALSO READ: As Govt Moves One Step Closer to ‘One Nation, One Election’, What Are The Key Amendments Proposed In Bill?Top opposition leaders such as West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin have opposed the bill, calling it “anti-democratic" and an authoritarian move designed to “undermine India’s democracy."The Cabinet has already approved the Ram Nath Kovind Committee’s report on the proposal, which advocates simultaneous elections across the country. Kovind had said during the consultation process on “one nation, one election" that 32 parties supported the idea while 15 did not.“The central government will have to build consensus. This issue is not in the interest of any party but the nation. It (One Nation One Election) will be a game changer – it’s not my opinion but of the economists that after its implementation, the country’s GDP will rise by 1-1.5%," Kovind earlier said.The government earlier said ONOP will be implemented in two phases as recommended by the Kovind committee. In the first phase, there are plans to conduct Lok Sabha and assembly polls simultaneously. The second phase will entail local body polls (panchayat and municipalities) within 100 days of general elections. Also, there are plans for a common electoral roll and the formation of an implementation group.Simultaneous polls were held in the country between 1951 and 1967. The concept of simultaneous elections has featured in many reports and studies since 1983, essentially implying a return to the previous practice of conducting polls concurrently.News india 'One Nation, One Election' Bill To Be Introduced In Lok Sabha Today atOptions = 'key' : '6c396458fda3ada2fbfcbb375349ce34', 'format' : 'iframe', 'height' : 60, 'width' : 468, 'params' : ;
