They reside in the Khasi Hills, Syntengs Hills, Pnars Hills and Jaintia Hills.The Wars, Khynriams, Pnars and Bhois are a subdivision of the Khasi tribe and maintain a different social and cultural identity.
The Khasis take the identity of their mother (and not their father) and the mother inherits the children and property. Khasis are also strong believers of educating their girls. Khasis belong to the Mon-Khmer clan of the East Asian origin.
i. Occupation:
The primary occupation of the Khasis is jhum or shifting cultivation. The Kacharis have a peasant based economy. Jhum cultivation happens purely in nature, without any modern means of cultivation. One of their most popular crops is the production of betel leaves.
