Once
again
Roma

will
be
celebrated
on
8th
April

world
.
This
has
been
the
main
endeavour

the
Indian

Rishi
,
soon
after
the
1st
World
Romani
Congress
in
London
in
1971

The
spirit
of
this
work
was
powerfully
captured
by
the
late
Prime
Minister
Mrs
Indira

at
a
reception
for
Roma
in
Chandigarh

few
years
after
the
1st
Congress
she
called
our
Romani
brothers
and
sisters
“The
lost
children
of
India
