Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Khasi religion, at the levels of both belief and practice (rites and rituals), traditionally, was neither codified nor elaborated uniformly across the Khasi Hills. The Khasi religion is neither church-based nor does it have an established priesthood. This means that, traditionally, it was not an organised religion that could give uniform and standardised rituals to society. Life-cycle events were marked by the performance of rites by an individual's mother's brothers. Their absence presents a situation of crisis. The book explains the ways in which such situations of crisis have been resolved. There are events other than life-cycle events that threaten an individual's life. The book explains the rites performed to thwart evil influences on individuals. The book also highlights the role of the Ka Seng Khasi in preserving and perpetuating the Khasi belief and rites, and the historical conditions leading to its formation.

A discussion on the field data relating to Khasi Food Concepts and Beliefs includes Classifications, Food Types and the Symbolic significance of Food substances.This book primarily deals with Khasi Food habits which are treated in-depth, while the presentation and discussion is on the basis of field data relating to the sources of food, factors of food habits, food consumption, preservation and storage of food. The variation of food consumption and the association of food with particular ecological zone and region also form interesting aspects of this book. The preparation of daily foods is an essential part of Khasi eating habits and is duly treated under the relevant chapter pertaining to food practices regarding the pattern of food preparation of daily foods. 'Food Preparation of Occasional and Festival Foods' is another major topic and include food practices concerning the pattern of food preparation of occasional foods and foods in festivals.Moving on to practical aspects, another section of the book deals with Khasi beliefs, rituals and taboos relating to food especially during pregnancies and illnesses. Infant food and avoidance, old-aged food and avoidance, and medicinal food are also discussed. In addition, there is relevant information on how food practices and rules about eating are viewed by class, gender and age distinctions, if any. Linkage between food habits and the health and nutritional problems from cultural and ecological perspectives is also summarily dealt with. The practical dimension of food habits also includes an investigation on change and continuity of food habits in Khasi society, encompassing aspects of food related to the important life cycle, other special occasions and food changes and continuity. The book finally summarises the findings into two main areas: a summary of the major points studied in the previous chapters and a presentation of the major findings.

This book although written primarily to satisfy the story telling urge, is also about the need to express the universal predicament of existence, of being, in a social milieu peculiar to the Khasi living in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Download or read book The Khasis written by P. R. T. Gurdon and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1908 Sir Bampfylde Fuller, then Chief Commissioner of Amman, proposed and the Government of India sanctioned, the preparation of a series of monographs on the more important tribes and castes of the Province, of which this volume is the first. They were to be undertaken by writers who had special and intimate experience of the races to be described, the accounts of earlier observers being at the same time studied and incorporated; a uniform scheme of treatment was laid down which was to be adhered to in each monograph, and certain limits of size were prescribed. Major Gurdon, the author of the following pages, who is also, as Superintendent of Ethnography in Assam, editor of the whole series, has enjoyed a long and close acquaintance with the Khasi race, whose institutions he has here undertaken to describe. Thoroughly familiar with their language, he has for three years been in charge as Deputy-Commissioner of the district where they dwell, continually moving among them, and visiting every part of the beautiful region which is called by their name. The administration of the Khasi and Jaintia Hills is an exceptionally interesting field of official responsibility. About half of the district, including the country around the capital, Shillong, is outside the limits of British India, consisting of a collection of small states in political relations, regulated by treaty with the Government of India, which enjoy almost complete autonomy in the management of their local affairs. In the remainder, called the Jaintia Hills, which became British in 1835, it has been the wise policy of the Government to maintain the indigenous system of administration through officers named dolois, who preside over large areas of country with very little interference. All the British portion of the hills is what is called a "Scheduled District" under Acts XIV and XV of 1874, and legislation which may be inappropriate to the conditions of the people can be, and is, excluded from operation within it. In these circumstances the administration is carried on in a manner well calculated to win the confidence and attachment of the people, who have to hear few of the burdens which press upon the population elsewhere, and, with the peace and protection guaranteed by British rule, are able to develop their institutions upon indigenous lines. It is now more than forty years since any military operations have been necessary within the hills, and the advance of the district in prosperity and civilization during the last half-century has been very striking.
Download or read book Environment Cultural Interaction and the Tribes of North East India written by Banshaikupar Lyngdoh Mawlong and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All life forms on earth are complementary to each other; the existence and survival of one depend on the existence of another, and vice versa. However, no life forms are more dependent on others than human beings. Humans’ very survival is conditioned by the existence of the natural environment and the living things within it. One aspect of this interaction is the central and inescapable role played by human culture in defining the human-nature relationship. This book emphasises that environmental conservation is a matter of moral and cultural ethics. It stresses the fact that existing environmental conservation methods need to accommodate traditional environmental knowledge and practices of different indigenous cultures in order to re-build and restore the bond between humans and nature.

Download or read book Revisiting Traditional Institutions in the Khasi Jaintia Hills written by Charles Reuben Lyngdoh and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional institutions in the Khasi-Jaintia society are “living organisms” which have existed for centuries and internally evolved from one phase to another. Despite having come into contact with newer and more modern forms of administration, they continue to exist, backed by local public opinion that has called for their continuity amidst diminishing responsibility and utility. This collection of papers explores the landscapes of traditional institutions that exist in the present Khasi and Jaintia Hills in Meghalaya, India. The chapters blend oral tradition with historical records and available sources from secondary literature. They examine the interplay of power and functions between the constitutional authorities, such as the state government, and the Autonomous District Councils and traditional authorities represented by the traditional institutions.
