The Romani Flag: The background of blue and green representing heaven and earth and a spoked wheel representing the migratory heritage of the Romani people.
The Romani Anthem:
| Gelem, gelem, lungone dromensa Maladilem bakhtale Romensa A Romale katar tumen aven, E tsarensa bahktale dromensa? A Romale, A Chavale Vi man sas ek bari familiya, Murdadas la e kali legiya Aven mansa sa lumniake Roma, Kai putaile e romane droma Ake vriama, usti Rom akana, Men khutasa misto kai kerasa A Romale, A Chavale | I went, I went on long roads I met happy Roma O Roma where do you come from, With tents on happy roads? O Roma, O brothers I once had a great family, The Black Legions murdered them Come with me Roma from all the world For the Roma roads have opened Now is the time, rise up Roma now, We will rise high if we act O Roma, O brothers |

I burst into tears at the singing of the Roma national anthem in the beginning of "Gypsy Caravan, When the Road Bends". I didn't understand the words but understood the feeling behind them.
The flag is very like the flag of India. After reading I follow the theory they originated out of India.
