The correct answer is option 4. In News The Assam government approved the indigenous status of five Assamese Muslim sub-groups - Gorias, Moriyas, Jolhas, Deshis and Syeds sub-groups as indigenous Assamese Muslim communities. Hence, option 4 is correct.​ Key Points The ‘indigenous’ status of Assamese-speaking Muslim communities will distinguish them from Bengali-speaking Muslims , who migrated from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) to Assam. The move will ensure their development in health, cultural identity, education, financial inclusion, skill development, and women empowerment. Under the umbrella of the indigenous Assamese Muslim community fall three main groups: the Goriyas, the Moriyas (from Upper Assam), and the Deshis (from Lower Assam). While the Deshi's are 13th-century converts from indigenous communities such as Koch Rajbongshi and Mech , the Goriyas and Moriyas trace their lineage to converts as well as soldiers, artisans, etc. who came to the region during the Ahom rule. Smaller groups such as Julha Muslims also fall under this category.
