from Arakan who later on immigrated

the late 1940s. Marma Peoples are

established by themselves in the
Bengal. Since then, Chittagong Hill

Meghalaya, India and neighboring areas
of Bangladesh like Mymensingh,
Netrokona and Sylhet, who call
themselves A·chik Mande (literally "hill
people," from a·chik "hill" + mande
"people") or simply A·chik or Mande.[1]
They are the second-largest tribe in
Meghalaya after the Khasi and comprise
about a third of the local population. The
Garos are one of the few remaining
matrilineal societies in the world.

13. The Khasi people

14. The Khasi are an indigenous or tribal people, the majority of whom
live in the State of Meghalaya in north east India, with small
populations in neighbouring Assam, and in parts of Bangladesh.
They call themselves Ki Hynñiew trep, which means "the seven
huts" in the Khasi language. Their language Khasi is the
northernmost Austroasiatic language. This language was essentially
oral until the arrival of European missionaries. Particularly
significant in this regard was a Welsh missionary, Thomas Jones,
who transcribed the Khasi language into Roman Script. The Khasi
people form the majority of the population of the eastern part of
Meghalaya. A substantial minority of the Khasi people follow their
tribal religion, called variously "Ka Niam Khasi" or "Ka Niam Tre", in
the Jaintia region; within that indigenous religious belief the rooster
is sacrificed as a substitute for man, it being thought that the rooster
"bears the sins of the man and by its sacrifice, man will obtain
redemption”(compare Kapparot). Other religions practiced include
Presbyterian, Anglican, Unitarian, Roman Catholic, and a small
number of Muslims. The Khasi people who reside in the hilly areas
of Sylhet, Bangladesh are of the War sub-tribe. The main crops
produced by the Khasi people living in the War areas, including
Bangladesh, are betel leaf, areca nut and oranges. The War-Khasi
people designed and built the living root bridges of the

few folk practices which are prevalent
among the Meiteis

and formerly also spelt as Sontal or
