Indian gypsies are some of the most colorful and fashionable people on the earth. I think this is where fashion was invented.

Indian Gypsies usually have olive skin, dark hair, and brown eyes. Balkan Gypsies sometimes have lighter skin and even blond hair and blue eyes.

The largest group of Gypsies in India are the Lambadi.

Gypsies are well known for their ability to dance and have many traditional dances expressing real life experiences and history.

Gypsies are also known for the ability to adapt to societies changes.

In the past, gypsies were not allowed to own land so they rarely settled down anywhere for a large length of time.

They became well known for things such as fortune-telling and other various forms of entertainmentent. Sadley they are also known as beggars and thieves.
