- India is a highly patriarchal country. But in the state of Meghalaya, the indigenous Khasi tribe practices matrilineal descent. Here in northeastern India, women rule the roost.
Matrilineal Society-is a line of inheritance(Family tree)
From our ancestors with rites and duties on earth were descended and inherited till date from our mother womb to us to preserve the righteous duties as clan title we inherited from our mother title not from our father like any other practice in India.
For eg,i Manipur's Nengnong were "Nengnong" is the title derived from my mother.
Our spiritual duties from the early days till date not to disgrace our Ancestors(clan).
NB:it very restricted to used the title"Nengnong" in khasi community.
Thank you

Just nonsense.
So you don't find it strange that the entire state is behind 10-15 years compared to other states
Yep it's clean and all
But would you live in a state which offers nothing
"I have a daughter and she's a girl" 🤷♂️
🤣
🤣🤣🤣. But it was her expression of how happy she is because of having a girl like" A GIRL CHILD"!!!!! She was excited and is considered fortunate because she became Mother to a girl.
@@Recusant_ are they girls?
@@Recusant_ So you think its a disgrace for boys to be born? It just kinda sounds sad.
I have a son and he is a boy 😅😅😅
I am a khasi, most of your translation to what they said are incorrect. Please ask someone's help to translate properly so that the facts won't get twisted. Otherwise everything is good, thanks for letting others know about us.
I am a khasi man and I can confirm that a half of your translation are incorrect and even facts are somewhat twisted.
Is your community like what feminists think?
@@user-wkhosyu
Feminism means equality of women's rights. Not the pseudo-feminism that you are thinking of. Most of the west practises pseudo-feminism where women have tonnes of more benefits compared to men and the law is not gender neutral.
Idk what you even mean by that unless you are a re**** incel who generalises feminism.
Absolutely beautiful ❤ i especially love the architecture and the general state of technology in their society, it goes to show how socities ran by women can do just as well at developing broomsticks.
Where did your recent documentary on the Mosuo people in China go? I watched it a couple of weeks ago but it's no longer on your channel.
India have alot of matriarchal cultural, especially you can see tribes/casts in in the prosperous agricultural/garther region ..
They have access to a lot of natural resources, The mother rule family her sons works in farms daughter help household works. they don't need strong patriarch figure to defence/protect the family.
This is interesting, a lot of other cultrues give power to man as head of household. its amazing how much worldview changes between cultures
Rare. Very interesting.

The video give a wrong information
It's nonsense.
Great video but the translation is way off.
Wow Thank You God . thanks a long I was born just 48 km outside of Khasi Garo zone .🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Not bad things, but don't parents from any community always give the best to their children how rich or poor they are.
Not in the US. We have an entire generation (baby boomers) who actively hoard wealth and spend recklessly. Because they are in power (and have been for a long time), they are forcing younger generations to pick up the difference, and are leaving them with nothing.
Wow...how interesting.

It's nonsense.
This channel needs real story on us
Women are already expected to do laundry and take care of the house.... Not sure how this is different than Western culture.
That's what I thought too, but at least they get recognition here I suppose
theshillongtimes.com/2014/08/30/khasi-matrilineal-society-is-not-matriarchal/
This is different from western culture in a no. Of ways:
1. Children inherit the names of their Mom not dad
2. Youngest daughter & specifically only daughter inherit property unlike West where both get right to inherit property
3. Men's status is lower than the women
4. Specifically women r incharge of the family
5. Men leave their house & live with women's family after marriage
Etc..
@@shivangeejain6282 point 2. You are wrong sir. Property are distributed among all female child and also male if the family is well to do.
@@shivangeejain6282 Men are not treated lower, men are still the head of the family. Fact is we female are treated at par with men if not more.
The tribes of Meghalaya are matrilinear but they are patriarchal
You r wrong bro
Exactly. The women are still doing the work like laundry, cleaning, and taking care of the parents. Only difference is the daughters inherit the mother's name.

Yes Khasi follows a matrilineal system but not Matriarchal. Matrilineal should not be confused with Matriarchal.
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet True
Looks a good life for all
This Researcher/investigator is bias.
My mothers brother was damn unlucky to have girl childrens 😢😢
This Vedio also available in Hindi. Indian are very excited to know this .
I have a daughter and she is a girl🤣🤣
Most are poor..
In fact, Meghalaya state has a high total fertility rate compared to other Indian stated because of the desire for a male child
Don't talk nonsense when you don't know the fact..
What male child. Here they need a 'Girl child', having a girl is considered auspicious and is looked up upon as a reward or luck
The sex ratio for female is high among Meghalaya tribals.
Non tribals of your kind are bringing more males here to ruin our indigenous sex ratio🤮 🤮 🤮
