The ''Dasikane'', or ''Dasskane'', is a religious umbrella term for the [[Christian]] [[Roma people]] in the [[Balkans]], especially in [[Bulgaria]], in the [[Romani language]], but there are different groups or professions. [[Baptism]] is a major event for them, most of whom are [[Orthodox Christians]], but there are a few [[Pentecostala]].<ref>https://amalipe.bg/en/roma-groups/</ref> The term comes from [[Sanskrit]], ''[[Shudra]]-dasika'',<ref>https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/dashi</ref> which means a Hindu low-caste female slave or servant. Immigration as [[guest workers]] from the former [[Yugoslavia]] has caused descendants tolive in Austria and Germany, but some live in other places in the world.<ref>http://rombase.uni-graz.at/cgi-bin/art.cgi?src=data/ethn/groupsat/at-kald.en.xml</ref>
