Here Is Indian Gypsies 24/10/2011

India is a country in where various Gypsy peoples live. These Gypsy peoples who speak different languages and live in different regions of India subsist on traditional Gypsy occupations as peripatetic communities like their ancestors or they subsist on jobs which non-Gypsies don't prefer to do on account of the fact that they lost their traditional occupations.

Musician langhas, animal trainer Nats including snake charmer and dancer Saperas, Banjaras who subsist on various Gypsy occupations, rope producer Birhors, Korwas and Mahalis who produce baskets, Rabhas who subsist on weawing, wedding musicians and drum players Parayiars, shoe-maker Sakkiliyars, blacksmith, basketmaker and musician Kotas and street cleaner Valmikis are some of the most known Gypsy peoples of India. There are some other Gypsy people living in India.

India is a country in where universal caste system between Gypsies and non-Gypsies is the most visible clearly. Members of upper castes generally classify Gypsy peoples as out caste untouchables and try to hinder any kind of personal relations with members of Gypsy peoples. Universal caste discrimination between Gypsies and non-Gypsies which exists tacitely in many other parts of the world is blindingly obvious in India.
