ROMA ARE INDIANS TOO!


I had decided that I am not going to take up the subject of the Indian Diaspora for some time but the recent actions of the Canadian government have kind of forced my hand .'Roma' are the Indians, India has forgotten about and they themselves have a very faint recollection of their roots. Mainly their language, social customs and their physical features suggest this bond. They are the much reviled and persecuted 'Gypsies'. For centuries they have lived the life of itinerant nomads on the periphery of European society. Shunned by all.

During Nazi era they came for special attention of the SS and were systematically butchered as part of the "final solution". Their actual number killed is not clear, probably owing to the fact that they came from all different countries in the Europe and were included in the statistics from that country. Some estimates put their actual numbers killed , more than that of Jews. Now that is a staggering number.

Even today when they are no longer nomads;when they have adopted the names and faiths of the countries they live in, the resentment against them is remorseless. They are shunned by the society and regularly persecuted by the regimes as a normal course. Eastern Europe is particularly a region with deep seated racist and neo- nazi tendencies that have strengthened post the communist era.

Canadian government has in the past stopped Indians from landing in Canada,; stopped Jews from immigrating during Nazi era and so on. Today Canada would like to pose as a champion of civil liberty, a bulwark against persecution and a heaven for the oppressed. But recently they have made visa compulsory for Czech and Mexican citizens because they say that people from these countries come and claim refugee status.

Actually they are trying to stop Roma from coming in. These Roma are Czech citizens who are treated abominably in their country. Mexicans were added to the order just to camouflage the real reason. White Europeans are welcome. Roma are not. Visa will ensure that they do not get in. If their homes get fire bombed in Czech republic , it is a local law and order problem,nothing to do with Canada. With the visa in place Canada can sleep tight; it will stay white! This order shows the Canadian regime for what it is, worse however is the extreme insult it is to the majority of The Canadians who are not racist. Maybe I am wrong on that count!

Hitler must be a happy man today!
