The same could be said of Israel.
I also strongly oppose the existence of Israel. But Jews also have a religious tie with Israel (and the Christian faith supports this tie), and also actually lived there at the time (although they were a minority and it wasn't a Jewish state). AFAIK there were no Romani in India at the time, and I don't think there was even a particularly common knowledge of Romani origins. It was known at the time, yes, but most of the evidence started to pile up in more recent decades (when things like genetic analysis became possible). There was a minor political leader who suggested a Romani state in India in 1930, but he didn't last very long, didn't have much power, and didn't have any real support for an Indian state amongst Romani, let alone gadjo. Most Romani are going to see a far greater connection with their western home states than they would in India, and would rather see a state created there. Few would be able to afford travel so far away. The Israel analogy doesn't work.
