The correct answer is "Garos". The Garos are a tribe from the northeastern Indian state of Meghalaya, and areas of Bangladesh, who are indigenous to and primarily inhabit the Garo Hills. After receiving the Diwani in 1765, the British East India Company extended its control towards the North-eastern part of India where they first came into contact with the Garos..
