I'm sorry, but what is indic, please?
Indic is a language group of India. There are two major groups, one is Indo-Iranian (including languages like Sanskrit, Hindi/Urdu, Gujarati, Marathi, Panjabi, etc.) which belongs to Indo-European family, and there is Dravidian (with Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Telegu). These two groups are unrelated. The former are sometimes called Aryan or Indo-Aryan languages, but the terminology is a bit old-fashioned. Indo_Iranian also includes languages like Avestan, Farsi, Pashto, Dari, etc.
Romani (less PC Gypsy) is an Indo-Iranian language. It has little to do with the Romans who spoke an Italic language, Latin.
