Answer: Assam
Notes: Organisations of the Moran community in Assam have started an “economic blockade” in Tinsukia district to demand Scheduled Tribe (ST) status. The Morans are among six communities, along with Tea Tribes (Adivasi), Motok, Tai Ahom, Chutia, and Koch-Rajbongshi, pressing for ST recognition. The Moran are an indigenous tribe of Assam and considered one of the region’s aboriginal groups. Historically, they led the Moamoria Rebellion in the 18th century against the Ahom monarchy. They once spoke their own Moran language, related to Dimasa, but now mainly speak Assamese. They are concentrated in Upper Assam, especially Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, and Sivasagar.
