were held throughout Assam as well as it distributed handbooks, pamphlets etc. To endorse the aims and objectives of the organisation various seminars, symposiums, public conferences etc. Jamiat Ulama-e- Hind ─a pan-Indian organisation launched its branch in Assam named Assam State Jamiat Ulama in 1921 with head quarter at Badarpur, Karimganj which was shifted later to Khaybar gaon in Nagaon district of Assam. In the first phase Jamiat Ulama-e- Hind was only Muslim organisation and enjoyed full hegemony over Muslims for long time. Gradually some other ideological groups made headway into Assam from outside these were Jamiat Ulama-e- Hind, Jamat-i-Islami Hind and Tablighi Jamat. Eaton further said that within the very first decade of Turkish conquest there began the circulation of Persian and Arabic translation of a Sanskrit handbook on tantric yoga named Amrtakunda (the Pool of Nectar). This statement cleared that Sufism was there in Assam around 1595. Eaton mentioned that sufis were concerned with apprehending transcendent reality unmediated by priest and were attracted to the yogi traditions of Kamrup as Kamrup was a centre of yoga as described by Mughal administrative manual Ain-i-Akbari. They tried to encourage and attract people through Zikr (remembrance of God in a prescribed way) and Zari (Assamese sufi devotional songs). Sufism was traced from early part of Muslims era headed by famous sufi Azan Fakir and Giyasuddin Aulia.

To uphold their religion, Muslims tried their best through various ways time to time. From then the Muslims witnessed so many ups and downs in both religious and socio-economic life. Proposed research work: The history of Muslims in Assam starts with the invasion of Bkhtiyar Khilji in 1205.
