The Khasi live in the northeastern part of India in the District of United Khasi and Jaintia Hills, under the administration of the state of Meghalaya. A variety of crops grown with different methods are produced for family consumption as well as for the market. Other subsistence activities include fishing, hunting, and animal husbandry. The Khasi have matrilineal descent. Today over half of Khasis have adopted Christianity, however, the core of traditional Khasi religious beliefs remains intact.
