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.

Dr. Das Gupta's study unveils a panorama of tribal life on the sprawling, southern slope sof Meghalaya-the home of clouds Sponsored by the Anthropological Survey of India, it focusses on the Wars (a sub-group of the Khasi tribe), their history, goegraphical environment, material culture, economy, politics, religion and social structure in an effort to highlight the salient features of the life and culture of the trbe. Relevantly, therefore, the author seeks to demonstrate hwo the matrilineal, endogamous Wars, despite their certain similarities withthe Khasi tribe are different in dialect, political organisation, social customs and manners, and broadly, how they compare with the other matrilineal tribal cultures of the world. The outcome of the author's painstaking extensive fieldwork, this ethnographic study of the War Khasis embraces almost every facet of the tribe's life and culture, describing the characteristic War Khasi village, home agriculture, livestokc, tools, dress, ornaments, vocations, domestic chores, hunting pursuits, armoury, means of travel, recreatioins, pastimes, family, clan, marraige, divorce. kinship, rules of inheritance (which are of great theoretical importance to social anthropologists), social practices, beliefs, muths superstitions, funeral rites, and a lot more.

It Is Believed That The Only Way The Khasi People Could Learn Of God S Word Was By Passing On The Stories Of Their Forefathers. The Alphabet Of The Great Khasi Tribe Of North-East India Was Born As Late As In 1842, When Thomas Jones, A Welsh Presbyterian Missionary, Introduced The Roman Script To Form The Essentials Of The Khasi Written Word. But Long Before The White Man Came, The Khasis Knew Agriculture, Trade, Commerce And Industry. And They Were Also Masters Of Storytelling. Theirs Was A Society Of Great Wisdom And Civilized Conduct At A Time When Brute Force Held Sway. For Theirs Was A Culture That Worshipped God Through Respect For Both Man And Nature. Perhaps That Is Why Khasi Stories Always Begin With When Man And Beasts And Stones And Trees Spoke As One . . . How Did The Great Storytelling Tradition Of The Khasis Survive So Long Without A Script? Putting Together Myths And Legends Peopled By Deities And Poor Folk, Speaking Trees And Talking Tigers, The Sun And The Moon And Everything Below Bilingual Poet And Writer Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih Describes How Fables Of Love And Jealousy, Hate And Forgiveness, Evil And Redemption Inform The Philosophy, Moral Principles And Daily Activities Of His Community Even Today.
