Answer 1

Hint: They were called "Gypsies" because they were falsely claimed by Europeans that they originated from Egypt. This minority includes different groups called "tribes" or "nations."

Complete Answer:
- A group of people found in Central Asia is the 'Gypsies.' However, India (Western Rajasthan and Punjab) Is the original home of the Gypsies. Gypsies are the ethnic group that during the late middle ages took on a roaming lifestyle for unexplained reasons.
- The nomadic tribe named Roma can be traced back to many of the modern-day Gypsies. They have been referred to in Europe as goddess-worshippers. None other than Kali was this goddess. They were later referred to as gypsies because they assumed they originated from Egypt before spreading to European countries.
- Research into DNA is also said to have identified the genes of European gypsies in Northern India. The numerous invasions in India are thought to have contributed to the tribe's migration in three waves, leading to the tribe's expansion through Persia, Turkey, Greece, Europe, Spain, Russia, Finland, Egypt, and Morocco. Gypsies tend to be called Romany. They also preserved the language of Romania, which is rooted in Sanskrit.

The right answer is option C (India).

Note: The tribe was looked at with curiosity and distrust as they moved through continents. And there have been many myths, superstitions, and achievements attributed to them. Although suspicions have led to wide-ranging persecution, their incredible contribution, especially to music and dance, is also recognized by the world.
