With a POD no earlier than 1 AD, create a mass migration of people from Europe to the Indian Subcontinent that results in the formation of one or more new ethnic groups similar to the Romani and Sinti. Based in Pakistan or India, they should speak a European-derived language (Slavic, Germanic, Romance, Uralic, Greek, etc) and practice some elements of their original culture, which they maintain to the modern day by nature of their nomadic, transient culture and self-isolation. Bonus points if the rest of history remains as familiar as possible to OTL. When is this most likely to happen, and from which part of Europe?
