Hindus ask Denmark to stop Roma deportations
July 16, 2010

Hindus are asking for immediate end to reportedly forcible mass
deportations of Roma from Denmark.

Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said
that instead of cracking down and raids on minority Roma brothers and
sisters and stereotyped approach, Denmark should come up with a
comprehensive strategy to rehabilitate them and make them productive
partners of the community.

Were not Roma Europeans? Was freedom of travel anywhere in European
Union for all Europeans or it was just for “Europeans minus Roma”?
Roma had reportedly been in Europe since ninth century CE, how long
more they had to reside in Europe to prove that they were “real and
equal” Europeans like any other, Zed, who is President of Universal
Society of Hinduism, asked.

This reported maltreatment of Roma in Denmark was simply inhuman and
outside even European Union norms and should end, Rajan Zed argued.

Europe’s most persecuted and discriminated community, Roma were
reportedly facing apartheid conditions in Europe. Roma reportedly
regularly faced social exclusion, racism, substandard education,
hostility, joblessness, rampant illness, inadequate housing, lower
life expectancy, unrest, living on desperate margins, stereotypes,
mistrust, rights violations, discrimination, marginalization,
appalling living conditions, prejudice, human rights abuse, etc., Zed
pointed out.

Rajan Zed stressed that Danish National Church (Folkekirken), which
represented about 90 percent of the Danes, should also come out in
support of the cause of this distinct ethnic and cultural group of
Roma, because religion taught us to help the helpless.

Denmark is rated among nations with best quality of life, highest per
capita income, and low unemployment. Its literacy rate is 100% and its
hydrocarbon-rich economy is reported to be booming.

What is/are "Roma"? One might equate "Roma" with "Romany" (i.e.
gypsies) but in that case why would Hindus be involved?

Interesting, to what does the article point in terms of actual events in
denmark?

Would you say they are perhaps the dalits of europe?
