GYPSIES
Gypsies are a nomad people who came from the Indian subcontinent. They started
westward in the year 1,000 A.D. Nowadays there are about 8 million gypsies all over
the world. Gypsies,ciganos,gitanes,zingare,bohemians are some of the names we use
to call this nomad people. Each of their groups hs a natural leader who is not
hereditary. The most important member in the family,the mother,hs authority over her
children and owns the familys properties. The same principle applies to the tribe which
has the tribal mother, the puri da, guardian of the moral code. A council of ealrs
judges every gypsy who breaks the law. They punish the most serious cases with banishment from the tribe.
Throughout the centuries there has always been a variety of traditional occupations and crafts among the
gypsies. Music and dance, as well as roadshows,fairs, and circus are part of their tradition. The men have
been horsekeepers and craftsmen: the women, fortunetellers. Yet,they were forced to adapt their way of life to

the changes of their economic situation.Some have totally abandoned nomadism; others have temporarily
settled somewhere.
