KHASI TRIBE, NIRALA PARA (VILLAGE), SREEMANGAL, BANGLADESH
Khasi tribe, Nirala Para (village), Sreemangal (Srimangal), Division of Sylhet, Bangladesh, Indian Sub-Continent, Asia
The Khasi are an indigenous or tribal people, the majority of whom live in the State of Meghalaya in north east India, with small populations in neighbouring Assam, and in parts of Bangladesh. They call themselves Ki Hynñiewtrep, which means "the seven huts" in the Khasi language. The Khasi people who reside in the hilly areas of Sylhet, Bangladesh are of the War sub-tribe. Their language Khasi is the northernmost Austroasiatic language. This language was essentially oral until the arrival of European missionaries. A substantial minority of the Khasi people follow their tribal religion; called variously, KaNiamKhasi and KaNiamTre. Other religions practiced include Presbyterian, Anglican, Unitarian, Roman Catholic and very few are Muslims. The main crops produced by the Khasi people living in the War areas, including Bangladesh, are betel leaf, areca nut and oranges. The Khasis are a matrilineal society. In Nirala Para (village), near Sreemangal (Srimangal) live also some Garo families.
The Betel (Piper betle) is the leaf of a vine belonging to the Piperaceae family, which includes pepper and kava. It is valued both as a mild stimulant and for its medicinal properties. Betel leaf is mostly consumed in Asia, and elsewhere in the world by some Asian emigrants, as betel quid or paan, with or without tobacco, in an addictive psycho-stimulating and euphoria-inducing formulation with adverse health effects. In Bangladesh, farmers called barui prepare a garden called a barouj in which to grow betel.
In Bangladesh, farmers called barui prepare a garden called a barouj in which to grow betel. The barouj is fenced with bamboo sticks and coconut leaves. The soil is plowed into furrows of 10 to 15 metres' length, 75 centimetres in width and 75 centimetres' depth. Oil cakes, manure, and leaves are thoroughly incorporated with the topsoil of the furrows and wood ash. The creeper cuttings are planted at the beginning of the monsoon season.
