7. Tribes Of Meghalaya(Social science)

8. The Culture
•Meghalaya's main ethnic communities, each having its
own distinctive customs and cultural traditions are the
Khasis (of Mon-Khmer ancestry), the Garos (of Tibeto-
Burman origin) and the Jaintias said to be from South
East Asia. The common trait binding all three
communities is its matrilineal system in which the family
linage is taken from the mother's side. The people of
Meghalaya are known to be hospitable, cheerful and
friendly.
•Traditionally, the Khasis believe that their religion is God
given and is based on the belief of one supreme God, the
creator 'U Blei Nong thaw' A Khasi is a deeply religious
person, who has an intense love of life. He believes that
life is God's greatest gift and he has to account for it again
in the hereafter.

9. •The Jaintias and Khasis have the same religion, although
the Jaintias are more influenced by Hinduism. They have a
superstition that the Jam, like the KhasiThlen, is an evil
spirit bringing riches to its owner and disease or death to its
enemies or victims.
•The Garos believe in one supreme Creator, Rabuga, who is
the sustainer and commander of the world. The other
spirits are the representatives of the supreme Creator. The
spirits connected to the Garo's agricultural life, are
appeased by sacrifices but never worshipped. The headman
is an integral part of the village and acts as religious head.
•However, many members of the Khasi, Jaintia and Garo
communities have converted to Christianity and one can
see a number of churches as well as temples, mosques,
gurudwaras and monasteries in Meghalaya.
