Goriya
The Goriya are a Hindu caste found in the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in India. Those found in the Basti Division of eastern Uttar Pradesh have converted to Islam, and now form a distinct community of Muslim Goriya. A small number of Goriya are also found in the Terai region of Nepal. == Origin ==
The Goriya are a sub-caste of the Mallaah community, and they are traditional ferrymen of the Ganges. According to their traditions, the community ferried the God Ram on his way to Chitrakut. Like other Mallaahs, they trace their ancestry to Nishad Raj, a figure that appears in the Ramayana. They are found mainly in the districts of Faizabad, Jaunpur, Varanasi and Sultanpur. The Goriya speak both Hindi and Awadhi.〔
