===Decline===
In 1971 Indian Moors numbered 29,416 declining from 55,400 in [[1963 Ceylon Census|1963]]. Their decline was partly due to much of the population returning to India and some declaring themselves and being enumerated as Sri Lankan Moors.<ref name=pop46>The Population of Sri Lanka, pp. 46.</ref> The presently remaining population have been categorised as "others" in the Sri Lankan census, since 1981, due to their small numbers.{{Citation needed|date=July 2023}}
