What do you think the scenerio would be if they relocated to india?
I think they have no know-how and ressources to assert themselfes in society, most roma also do not speak either hindi or english.
I guess they would end up with other untouchables, after a generation the children would learn spoken languages of india like hindi. Maybe the indians could civilise them and assimilate them, they failed in europe, because indians do work hard, both physically and also mentally, they are studious and education is a priority and very important for most indian families. Maybe gypsies would learn civilisation and important human values.
There are also government-sponsored instutions relation to romani culture and language in india, they could join these organisations and get support from those institutes:

Journey to the ancient homeland of India
During his ten-day stay in India, in March 2018, Kajtazi held several important meetings. He met with Dr. Vinay Prabhakar Sahasrabuddhe, Indian politician and member of the Indian Parliament, as well as President of the Indian Council on Cultural Relations, M. J. Akbar, Indian Minister of State, professor Shyam Singh Shashi, Ph.D., one of the greatest researchers of Roma history in India and winner of the Padma Shri Prize for Literature, and Shri P. Venugopal, Director of the Indian Council on Cultural Relations (ICCR).
At a reception organized by the ARSP (Antar Rashtriya Sahyog Parishad, Indian Council for International Co-operation), which primarily deals with connecting India and its diaspora, Kajtazi gave a lecture on the position of Roma in the Republic of Croatia. Under the term “Indian Diaspora”, ARPS recognizes persons with the so-called „NRI status“ ie Indian citizens temporarily residing outside India due to business obligations, and persons with “PIO” status, ie those of Indian origin, but without Indian citizenship. The former applies to persons who once held an Indian passport, persons whose parents or grandparents held an Indian passport, persons whose spouses have citizenship, or spouses of persons mentioned in the first two categories. Although none of these categories formally include Roma, the organization points out that Roma are indeed of Indian descent and that a way needs to be found for India to formally recognize Roma as its diaspora.
Back in 1970, in Chandigarh, Indira Gandhi participated in the International Roma Festival where she, as the Prime Minister of India, received a delegation of Roma and promised her support in their representation at the United Nations. Many years later, at the International Roma Conference and Festival of Culture in 2016, Sushma Swaraj, Indian Minister of Foreign Affairs pointed out that Roma are children of India, who emigrated and lived abroad for centuries but managed to preserve their identity despite extremely difficult circumstances.
Veljko Kajtazi also gave a well-received lecture at Jawaharlal Nehru University and held important meetings at the International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIITB), the Europe India Chamber of Commerce (EICC), and the Gateway House: Indian Council on Global Relations.
