Summary, etc. When I completed the compilation of my Multilingual Romani Dictionary in 1971 in London (I was working as an Attache in the Indian High Commission at that time), few in India knew that the Roma (the so-called Gypsies of Europe etc.) have originated from the Panjab and that they still speak a language which could better be called a dialect of Panjabi.

I established the Indian Institute of Romani Studies at Chandi garh, started publishing ROMA, a half-yearly journal on the subject. I wrote articles on the subject in English and Indian language papers. I gave interviews from Delhi and Amritsar TV stations.

Well, the interest of scholars and national leaders of India in the subject has now been created.<br/><br/>In the meantime, I got a lot of original the and revealing ma terial on the subject from the scholars from the USSR, the Eastern Democracies, particularly from Yugoslavia, and other countries of Western Europe and America. In the summer of 1974, I had the good fortune to visit France, Germany, Italy,
