Pator-goya


Pator-goya is one of the four major clans into which the Deori tribe of India is divided. The other three major clans are Bo-geenya, Dibongiya and Tengaponiya. In ancient time, a section of Deori people lived in Pat-Sadiya in undivided greater Assam, in north-east India. Later, they become to known as Pator-goya clan of the Deori tribe. However, this clan has been lost after they faced with a riot in Sadiya, in the eastern region of undivided greater Assam. Some experts believe that this clan has been assimilated with other tribes in north-east India.
