The Khasis is a book written by P. R. T. Gurdon and published in 1914. The book provides a comprehensive study of the Khasi people, who are an indigenous tribe living in the northeastern region of India. Gurdon, who was a British civil servant, spent several years living among the Khasis and studying their customs, traditions, and way of life. The book covers a wide range of topics related to the Khasis, including their history, social structure, economy, religion, and culture. Gurdon provides detailed descriptions of their customs and rituals, such as their matrilineal system of inheritance, their unique marriage customs, and their elaborate funeral ceremonies. He also discusses their agricultural practices, their use of natural resources, and their interactions with neighboring tribes and colonial powers.Throughout the book, Gurdon emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting the Khasis' way of life and traditions. He also highlights the challenges faced by the Khasis as they navigate the changing political and social landscape of the region, including the impact of British colonialism and the increasing influence of Western culture. Overall, The Khasis is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, culture, and anthropology of the Khasi people and the broader region of northeastern India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
