- Khasi Women Wisdom who number about 1 million in India's north-eastern state of Meghalaya, carry on the matrilineal tradition. The youngest daughter inherits, children take their mother's surname, and once married, men live in their mother-in-law's home. These stories from Khasi women give insight and weave the tapestry of this unique social framework and matrilineal society that has influenced culture and arts and that in turn contributes to the larger universal discussion of gender equality.
Hello everyone
I'm from Cambodia county. I am Khmer man. I like khasi people. I think Khmer, Mon and khasi are the same race in thousands years ago.
I really admire the speech of Khasi mei ieid(old woman). Her confidence, and knowledge. I'm proud to be Khasi.

It is very sad that we seem to forget that if there had been no men who loved their women so much there would not be in existence the Matrilineal Khasi Society. It was the Khasi male who in the warrior phase decided to leave his wife & the kids with her mother while he goes to war so that they will be well taken care of than with his family. This later led to the children taking the mother's clan name for protection & security in case the father dies as lives in those days was uncertain (too many wars etc). This later became the custom even when the warrior phase of life ended. It must be remembered that the 7trep land(KhasiJaintia) became a Reality because of the Sacrifices/Bravery of our Warriors (males) & they generously gave to their mother, sisters/ nieces for they always see us(females) as physically the weaker sex & that it was their duty to provide& protect the women (females). This is the most noble& beautiful characteristics feature of the Khasi male especially in the past
Finally, someone who agrees with me!
Im so much in love with the most adorable Mei-ieid Sweetymon :) Her impeccable Khasi-accented English gave me an "ohhhhhhhh-so-adorable-it-melts-my-heart" feeling that will make me happy for a veeeeeeeery long time ;) Im proud of all the other graceful Khasi women.. I Salute :)

"No temporary library in khasi tribe, but our libraries lies permanently in nature"' I do appreciate the depth of knowledge gained by our Grandma and if we the Khasis, we have such a sense, ......our tribe will be the blessed. Thank You Meiieit.
Library in U Lum Sohpetbmeng, Kshaid Nohkalikai etc to name a few
Yes we have read that in our khasi book in class 12.
I'm really proud for being khasi. I belong to the khasi land and I feel blessed. Being Rooted and growing in this land, will never convince you/me to leave it and It'll always give us the feeling of longingness to the land wherever you/I go.
I'm a Khasi and I Love it. The interpretations is different from one individual to another, yet, they came with the same conclusion that gender gap occupied less space in the Khasi Matrilineal Society.
I love mei ieid (grandma) sweetymon's Khasi English accent...and she's so loud too🤣🤣🤣typical khasi women....

For the outer world it is really difficult to understand the philosophy and spirituality of the Khasis.

"God has created us with the same intentions"--- Mei-ieid 💙 Thank you for this video.
This is nice. I like the old lady.

4:22 "They don't only have the herbs that are edible with our food, they are medicinal also at the same time, through the seasons. They have the fruits that are medicinal during these seasons, there are plenty of all these in our forests, in our land, in our consecrated forests. The concept for us is You can eat as much as you can, but you cannot take away anything from there. "
Marvellous and well made video. This is a must see video for every woman as well as all men. I am very sorry for my long comments below. But I had to add to an excellent video my incredible anthropological discovery and research. The Cassi or Khasi are described as an Iron Age Tribe of Britain. Please read my detailed history of the Khasis below. Congrats once again. Fantastic worrk by Oliver Gardiner and Jessica White.
Thank you for your initiative. We the Khasi assure good life.
Proud to be khasi long live khasi
The captions are wrong.Here's what the Khasi Mei iied says at 3:25 "The Khasi people, they don't have libraries in their temporary structures like the house..., Khasi people have library in nature. Nature is all the library where there are printed in the leaves, in the flowers, they go on living from one generation to another..In the flowers, in the herbs, in the plants, in the bamboos that grow and everything..so, it is a library in nature. For Khasi people, that library will never get effaced from the surface of the earth, so, you have to think about this wisdom. Am I not correct?"
Exactly...
Khasi Library is more powerful because generation from generation they told story or teach their children orally.
Keep respecting for the language and traditional life.👍👌❤
... this meiieid is really knowledgeable... Proud to be a Khasi.
M proud of this granny.... Love you mei ieid😃😃😃😃😃😃
I'm proud tobe Khasi, because khasi male majority of them are our protector in or outside the house.
A male protector?? Uhmmm very patriarchal concept
@@MsIthinkthereforeIam
But it's true though, males should be protector of females.

O! how times have change, with the introduction of western media there have been a significant change on our society let's hope we don't loose our identity as khasi. ✌✌
But with the emerging of the telecommunication systems like television and internet... The influence of the Western Culture today, also known as the *Culture* *of* *Death,* propagated through these systems, have started to manifest itself in all the four corners of the earth and gradually transforming the life and the culture of those that it comes in contact with including ours by spreading wrong ideas and confusion.
Now we say we are proud of our culture because of the many things that we have in our culture, and especially that it is base upon love and equality, which usually stand out from others, but with the Culture Of Death in our midst, our culture is gradually eroding and so is our identity. Matrilineal tradition in our culture that we are proud of will one day become a myth.
Dont't give in to the culture of death! Keep vibrating high with your Culture of Life

14:50 "They believe that your grandma has passed away about ten generations and she is over there, you cannot see her, but when you pass away from here in time of death you will be with her in the parlour house of God. So, as your soul will live with her, as you are living in this world, you have your own parental house to go in times of need. So, whether you are a boy or a girl, this ancestral family will have to take care of you for security. So that is our religion, am i not correct? THAT is the matrilineal system.

If you want to know about the khasis and their society it's best to interact with those who are still sticking to their roots ,the ones who are still sticking to their roots know better about the customs ,traditions and way of life of the khasis

At 20.52. There are no kingdoms among the Hynniewtrep. No monarch here. Lets not try to translate into English without understanding their meanings in depth. For instance, U Syiem U Kmie is not a King or Queen. He or she resides for 'Ka Hima' is just one aspect among an endless function which is dynamic and progressive.

9:59 it's ironical that the queen bee's action always leads to the demise of the male bee...as seen mostly in our Khasi culture..women always blame men but the core of the problem lies in the structure and functionality of our matrilineal society..
Yes take the example of Syiem Tirot Sing ,..Matrilinity has its disadvantages also, i guess no system is perfect.
Haha.... I like the old grandma who spoke bold and extracted many things from mother nature.
Meiieit Sweetymon Rynjah iskuin palat ia phi.
That mei ieid or grand mother is incredible. But we khasi people we believe in our mother n the yonger sister.
Khasi culture n matrilineal is alway depends on women
As grand mother says it's a contribution between the family
That is only the views of the urban Khasi who is much influenced by Christian western templates and who are losing touch of their aged old traditions which can be found only in the interiors of Khasi land

The world should know through this video that we Khasi are special and not the part of India. So we need our own sovereign state like before British rule. My heart is broken when I remember the story of our tribe betrayed by British , we now also betrayed by black people (dkhar). I hope one day our tribe will know the Truth and get our separated country. Amen
U racist... Many khasis are so dark... I'm khasi myself and never was racist to anyone... Meghalaya can't survive as a country as its own... Dumbo
I hear there are mens group demanding equal right...is it true?
No there's nothing like that
Yes it's true..it's called the Synkhong Rympei Thymmai or SRT in short..
Its only those who want 2 wipe out d Unique Identity n Culture of Our Khasi Tribe n want 2 replace it by Western Culture.

khasi full name is khashah means lord of the mountains khasi khosh khoond in himachal are rajputs landlords. khasi are divided into two parts shathi and pashi (kaurav and pandav). khasi in himachal and uthrakhand make thahri's in their villages also thakuri.
WTF. We are none of that part bro. Do some research and then comment.
very very funny ... wrong info
Little knowledge is dangerous
Tha Khasas of Himachal has no connection to the so called Khasis of Meghalaya State in NE INDIA. Wrong information leads to wrong conclusions.
Wrong!!! Do some research.
I am Kizzire, of Gens Cassi and Kassia before that. You would find I have much to offer as far as your heritage is concerned and evidence to prove beyond doubt what I say to be true is plentiful. Please, do contact me so I may provide the account in an agreeable fashion.
The Khasis believed they came from outer space/Heavens. They were born from God. Kha-si-ya meaning Born from God. Ya is one of the ancient names of God. They were called by different names like Kassia, Cassi, Kassi, Cassia, Khas, Khasa and so on. The ancient Phoenicians who traded all across Europe by ship were Khasis. Lieutenant Colonel Laurence Austine Waddell clearly mentions in his books that “ ‘Kassi or Cassi' was used by the first Phoenician Dynasty 3000 BC”. Waddell was a British explorer, Professor of Tibetan, Professor of Chemistry and Pathology. Waddell studied Sumerian and Sanskrit too; He was a Professor of Tibetan at the University College of London (1906-1908). He became a fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute and produced many brilliant books and papers. According to Waddell the "unknown" script on the Newton Stone in Scotland is Hitto-Phoenician. His translation is as follows: "This Sun-Cross was raised to Bil (or Bel, the God of Sun-Fire) by the Kassi (or Cassi-bel[-an]) of Kast of the Siluyr (sub-clan) of the "Khilani" (or Hittite-palace-dwellers), the Phoenician (named) Ikar of Cilicia, the Prwt (or Prat, that is 'Barat' or 'Brihat' or Brit-on).". By the way, the Khasi word for God is ‘Blei’ similar to the ‘Bel’ mentioned by Waddell and in ancient Welsh , it is ‘Beli’. :Brihat’ in Khasi means ;Agricultural Market’. Waddell’s critics (most of whom were arm chair critics who never travelled anywhere) tried to pooh pooh his writings but now DNA has proved him right and they wrong, almost 100 years later. He was a British and Scottish genius.

The Khasi living today at beautiful Khasi Hills at the foothills of the Himalayas, were the first settlers of Ireland some thousands and thousands of year ago. They came in many waves. Just as they did thousands of years ago, they are still matrilineal, wear distinct tartan shawls, have priestly druids known as Lyngdohs, still maintain over 100 Sacred Groves/Forests, build monoliths, Stone Circles, dolmens, cromlechs, megaliths and Living Root Tree Bridges. " 'Black Irish' is often a description of people of Irish origin who had dark features, black hair, dark complexion and eyes. "
www.ireland-information.com/articles/blackirish.htm
DNA testing of remains of ancient Irish people suggests that some of the earliest human arrivals on the island originally came from much further afield.......One of the oldest texts composed in Ireland is the Leabhar Gabahla (in Khasi ‘Leh Bha Kat Ba Lah’ meaning Do as much Good as you can). It tells a semi-mythical history of the waves of people who settled in Ireland in earliest times. It says the first settlers to arrive in Ireland were a small dark people called the Fir Bolg.
“Our earliest records point to the existence among the Celtic tribes in Britain of the two physical types still to be found amongst them; the tall, fair, red-haired, blue-eyed Gael, whom his clansmen denominate "Roy" (the Red), and the dark complexion, hair and eyes, usually associated with shorter stature, which go with the designation "Dhu" (the Black). Rob Roy and Roderick Dhu are familiar illustrations of this nomenclature. In classical times these types were much less intermingled than now, and were characteristic of separate races. The former prevailed [50] almost exclusively amongst the true Britons of the south and east, and the Gaelic septs of the north, while the latter was found throughout the west, in Devon, Cornwall, and Wales.” - The Project Gutenberg eBook, Early Britain--Roman Britain, by Edward Conybeare
You cannot build ships without iron. So knowledge of iron smelting is important. Here is the link to an article which came out in 2013 entitled “Iron used in Khasi hills 2000 years ago- Evidence of ancient smelting ‘technology’ found in Meghalaya” where two Polish scientists find that the Khasis knew the art of iron smelting at least 2000 years ago. Pawel Prokop, a geo-environmental researcher with the Polish Academy of Sciences and his colleague, Ireneusz Suliga, have reported their findings in the journal, Current Science. www.telegraphindia.com/1130326/jsp/frontpage/story_16715810.jsp
“Ecossais, The Khasi Saga”, is a must read book written by Assamese medical doctor, Dr. Satyakam Phukan.

The Khasis or Cassi arrived in many waves more than 30000 years ago in the British Isles and Europe.
“The greatest history book ever written is the one hidden in our DNA”. Dr. Spencer Wells, Director, Genographic Project, National Geographic Society. What many do not know even among the Khasi people is that DNA has now uncovered that the Khasis and the Mundas left Africa for India around 60000-70000 years ago to escape severe drought and famine. Kindly google and read the article ‘How Did The Khasis Of Meghalaya Come From Africa’ by Dr. I. Mohendra Singh who is based in the UK. Also please read the extremely erudite article ‘Origin & Migration of Khasi people: Out of Africa & in our Genes' by Dr Glenn C Kharkongor , Chancellor of Martin Luther Christian University, (MLCU) which confirms the ancient prehistory of the Khasis.
Now combining the subjects of Genetics, Anthropology, Archaeology, Linguistics, Ancient History, Toponymy (Toponymy or Toponomastics, the study of place names, is one of the principal branches of Onomastics). Culture, ancient Khasi oral history, legends and myths (most of it kept secret and handed down among just a select few, most of whom have died.), Geography etc, we now know for sure that the Khasis were the first civilisation of the world and that they set up the Kingdoms of Sumeria, Egypt, Phoenicia, Mesopotamia and many others across the world.
The Khasis left Africa to search for Water, cool weather, hills, mountains and thickly forested lands. After receiving detailed reports from advanced teams sent to scout the world, they left Africa and settled in the Khasi Hills at the foothills of the Himalayas where they still live today. Using these Khasi mountains as their base at least 60000-70000 years ago, they then proceeded to explore the whole world in different batches. On arrival at a place which they liked to settle on, they erected Stone Circles, Megaliths and Monoliths all over the land to signify ownership of the land, to thank God ‘U Blei’ or ‘U Blai’ and to promise ‘U Blei’ or ‘U Blai’ that they would protect and be good stewards of the land. Every area they settled initially would have plateaus, mountains, lots of rain and water, forests, cool weather etc. Around 74000-75000 years ago, the super volcano Mount Toba of Sumatra, Indonesia erupted. There was widespread death and destruction. The sun disappeared for a long time because of the super eruption. Hence came the Khasi legend and story of the Rooster. Immediately after that event, wherever the Khasis went, they dug deep and long caves. These caves took many generations to dig. They also proceeded to grow wheat. The word ‘Kew’ in Khasi means ‘Wheat’ hence the name Kew Gardens. Between 30000 - 40000 years ago, the Khasi left to explore and settle the rest of the world. They went to Siberia, Tibet, China, Japan, Scandinavia, Britain, Europe, (Switzerland, Germany, France, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Netherlands etc) Caucasus, Myanmar, Mongolia, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, Laos etc. After this, they left for North and South America. They set up the Sumerian, Babylonian & Phoenician kingdoms. Look at the ancient (4000-1000 BC) Sun Crosses seals of the Sumerian, Hittite, Catti, Khassi, Cassi, Egyptian, Phoenicians etc all of whom were the same people.
@t
The Khasis were nomads and explored the whole world. Sumerians, Phoenicians, Babylonians, Cretians, Keltoi, Celts, Picts, Cassi, Etruscans, Catti, Chauci, Cauci, Khatti, Keltic, Kymri, Cimmerians, Mongols etc all descended from them. Their traces are found in so many places. Herodotus, the ancient Greek historian called Britain Cassiteriades or Kassiterides, the Khasi Tin Islands. They were all over Britain but were called different names. They mined Tin, Gold, Silver and grew wheat. Just like Jeans are called American jeans because it was originally made by the Americans, just like Scotch is called Scotch whisky, just like vodka is known as Russian vodka because the Russians are famous for making vodka, so too Britain was called Kassiteriades or Cassiterides because it was the Khasis/Cassi who mined and sold tin in those days. In fact, 'Tin' in the Greek language was 'Kassiteros' because it was the Khasi who had a monopoly over 'tin' in the ancient world.
@t
Stewart, Michael. "People, Places & Things: Kassiterides", Greek Mythology: From the Iliad to the Fall of the Last Tyrant. @t
@t
Their ancient name for Britain was Ka Dew Lynnong Pyrdain or The Isle of Prydain or Pyrdain meaning in Khasi ‘The Island of Wisdom’. ‘Pyrdain’ means ‘Wisdom, Deep Thought’ in Khasi. Khasis often say ‘Ka Pyrkhat ka Pyrdain’ meaning ‘Thinking and Wisdom’.
@t
They also called Britain 'Bilat' after the White Limestone Cliffs of Dover. Emperor Julius Caesar in his writings names a Cassi tribe which fought against the Romans under their Chief Cassi-Vellaunus. Caesar landed around the Wantsum or Wansum Channel and crossed the River Thames at the Kew ford. 'Wan Sum' in Khasi means 'Come and bathe'. The Kew or Quay Hoh Gardens are named after the Cassi or Khasi harvest chant Hoh Kew or Hoi Kew. Kew means wheat in Khasi & the Cassi tribe is known to have grown wheat in Britain. The Khasi / Cassi name for the third largest city of Roman Britain was Hangne-ruh-la-mih-Um, later shortened to Uerulamium and then to Verulamium. In Khasi it meant 'Here too water has come out'. 'La Mih Um' means 'Water has come out'. Present day Colchester city was known in pre-Roman times as Ca-mulo-don-um. 'Ka mluh don um' is a Khasi phrase meaning 'There is salt in the water'. The old name of Thames
in Khasi is ‘Them Sum’. The 'Them' in Khasi is pronounced in the same way as the English today pronounce 'Thames' but with the addition of an 's'. The area around the Thames was then a low-lying area covered in water, much more than now. 'Them' in Khasi means low-lying. 'Them Sum' means 'low-lying area for bathing'. It gradually became Thames. There is still standing an 18th Century Stanmore Obelisk, Brockley Hill at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital compounds commemorating the victory of King Cassi-vellaunus (Prince of the Cassi) who led a confederation of British tribes including the Cassi tribe and defeated the Romans of Emperor Julius Caesar in 54 BC.
@t

@t
Look at the historic photos @t.
Read what is written on the South side and the West side of the Obelisk. The Cassi tribe is clearly mentioned. "Kassi" (or "Cassi") was the title used by the First Phoenician Dynasty about 3000 B.C., as attested in their still extant inscriptions.1 It was the title adopted by the great dynasty of that name in Babylonia which ruled the Mesopotamian empire for about six centuries, from about 1800 B.C., and who are now generally admitted to have been Aryans. And Kasi also occurs as a personal name of Phoenicians in inscriptions in Egypt. This Kasi title is thus now disclosed as the Phoenician source of the "Cassi" title borne by the ruling Briton Catti kings of pre-Roman Britain down to Cassivellaunus (see later), who minted the "Cas" coins bearing the Sun-horse and other solar symbols….
This Aryan expansion began as far back as 3,000 BC, probably earlier, with their seafaring branch, the Phoenicians. They were a technologically advanced people who have been marginalized by official history and this has obscured their true identity. They are fundamental to understanding where we have come from and where we are now. It was they who brought both their genetic lines and their knowledge to Europe, Scandinavia and the Americas, thousands of years BC.” - Lieutenant Colonel L. A. Waddell (1854-1938) There were just a small band of Khasis and Mundas, maybe between 150-1500 people who left Africa 60000-70000 years ago. They were all related to each other. No one else was there in India and most of the world, except Neanderthals and earlier humans of another species but not our HOMO SAPIENS. That explains why the name Khasi and its derivatives are all over the world. All tribes and communities in the North East of India and throughout the Himalayan mountains, including the Assamese Ahom are closely related to the Khasis from a distant past of thousands of years ago for it was from the Khasi Hills that they spread to the Tibetan Plateau, South East Asia, other parts of Asia and back. There were no passports and visas in ancient times, so going and coming was much easier. DNA confirms their ancient history. The Khasis and Munda people proceeded to populate the whole of India. There was an ancient Kingdom of Kashi in
northern India. The holy city of Varanasi was earlier known as Kashi. It was a Khasi holy city. One has to go back around 1700-3000 BC to find an old Egyptian medical papyrus which correctly
mentions ‘Khasi’ as the name for ‘Benares’. It later became Kashi and then Varanasi. The Khasis did intermarry with the Neanderthals and remnants of earlier human species in Europe and other parts of the world. Khasi language and culture is rich in folklore and folktale, and behind most of the names of mountains, rivers, countries, nations, hills, waterfalls, birds, flowers, and animals across the world there is a story. We have much much more to tell. In honour of Thomas Jones, let this article spark intense interest among students, researchers, scientists and professors to study and reveal the untold prehistory, oral stories, myths and legends of the Khasis.

Ironically as much as the Khasi appear to portray their heritage, almost all follow an Abrahamic religion which can be as different from their ancestral culture as it can get.
