The Julaha are a community of Pakistan and India, which adopted the profession of weaving.
Julaha, Momin and Ansari are the names of one and the same backward community of weavers and they are Socially and Educationally Backward. The members of the community have been using. the name "Ansari" since many centuries either at the beginning or at the end of their personal names throughout the country because the word "Julaha" was being used by others to express their contempt, hatred and as a mark of disrespect to the members of this caste engaged in spinning and weaving.
In order to get rid of this mark of inferiority, contempt and hatred associated with the name "Julaha", the members of the community began to use the word "Momin" and/or "Ansari", more particularly the word "Ansari" as the word "Momin" is equivalent to the word "Muslim". Despite the change in the name, they are still being looked down upon, treated as inferior and low-caste by the Sayeds, Shaikhs, Khans and other communities amongst the Muslims.[1]
