I am publishing this video to honor a Romani with a big heart - YouTuber shahnee66. Read her words of kindness and encouragement to a young singer at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1vczlm5_RY Following text is from: http://www.romani.org/ Former Indian Prime Minister Indira Ghandi summarized the state of the Romani people very nicely in her opening speech at the International Romani Festival in Chandigarh, India on October 28, 1983. It is paraphrased below (by Milena Hubschmannova & Jaroslav Jurasek), and we have also made the full text of her address available. (see: http://www.romani.org/rigadr.html) "There are some 15 million Roms dispersed across the world. Their history is one of suffering and misery, but it is also one of the victories of human spirit over the blows of fate. Today the Roms revive their culture and are looking for their identity. On the other hand, they integrate into the societies in which they live. If they are understood by their fellow citizens in their new homelands, their culture will enrich the society's atmosphere with the color and charm of spontaneity."
