Now we're seeing a springtime of hope

people's lives, not only by extending credit, but also by
spreading the spirit of entrepreneurship
that allows people to build better
lives for themselves and for their families. Why the Roma left
India is clouded
in uncertainty, yet they entered southeastern Europe in the last quarter
of the 13th Century.
In some places, this Egyptian identity was taken entirely seriously, and
was no doubt borrowed by the early Roma themselves.
The root language of Romani
is ancient Punjabi
with loan words borrowed from the many countries the
migrations of the Roma have taken them.
The green and blue flag with a red chakra in the center was adopted as
the Romani flag, as well
as the motto 'Opr Roma' (Roma Arise).
