What it's about

The Khasis by P. R. T. Gurdon (1863–1942) is a seminal ethnographic work detailing the customs, traditions, and social organization of the Khasi people of Meghalaya, India. First published in the early 20th century, the book offers valuable insights into matrilineal kinship, religious practices, folklore, and village administration. As a British colonial administrator, Gurdon compiled this account through close observation and interaction, making it an important reference in the study of indigenous cultures and anthropology in Northeast India
