The tribals of Meghalaya are, as all tribals, happy go-lucky people worrying about their life from minute to minute. Khasi men are prime examples of this, enjoying their drink and having many a stories to recount to each other. What keeps them going is that after a couple of drinks, it does not matter even if they repeat the same story again, no one is listening, no one is hearing. As they indulge themselves, their wives work hard earning the livelihood. As in most hill tribes, you will find more women in the market places selling their wares, more women working in every facet of life.
Men seem like ornaments.
Actually in Khasi society even that is not true. The Khasi women are so beautiful, that they are famous for their beauty. In fact that is where the whole problem arose. Khasi women with their beauty and monetary power, tended to have the roving eye. Men from all over the world fell for them and proposed to them in marriage.
