India is so beautiful and diverse. East to west north to south its blessed with nature and beautiful culture. Why to waste money on foreign trips when you have such beautiful places in your own country.

[@ravindersawhney5945]

I went to meghalaya in 1976 with my father who was inArmy as captain, we went to Baghmara&tura & Verma border. At Verma border, there was tribal haat, no money was exchanged, barter system, we had Jackfruit, Exchanged with pineapples, memorable experience. Ur video refresh my memory.

[@armadilloburns4880]

For the benefit of your viewers, I would like to mention a fact or two about the Mawphlang Sacred Grove. This grove was started as a ritual site by our ancestors and prayers and sacrifices were conducted then. Famines, plagues, illnesses whenever occurred in villages around Mawphlang, elders would go to this Grove to pray and find the reason for such incidents. Offerings and gratitude in the form of festivals was also held in the neighboring field for good harvest and prosperity. Thence, Christianity had not arrived in the khasi hills. However, these festivals are also held nowadays(Monolith festival). It is also said that to be near to the divine, preservation of nature is withheld by not taking anything from the site. It's one way our ancestors took key on how to sustain the environment. Such groves are found in many parts of the Khasi and Jaintia hills. The episode was phenomenal. Concise, informative and correct. Thanks. Love, a Shillongnite.

Sir... Your personality and way of presentation is unique... I have seen many youtubers doing great videos on places they travel, but you tend to stick to the basics that we as an audience lure for when we see it... Your inquisitiveness about certain typical things is somewhat related to a huge populations common interest that helps us relate to your videos very easily... Great presentation and showmanship Sir and kudos to your channels success... I wish you cross 1M soon and get the gold button which you truly deserve...

Also, the background music is very nice, soothing and matches the culture of the people and place which is being shown. Can't wait to see new episodes :)

@@babdj2581 .yes i am . Children here take their mother's title. And after marriage the groom or the boy leaves in girl's house. The youngest daughter of the family gets the maximum property. Teer(shooting with bow and arrow) which is local gamabling in our state is legal. For re 1 you can earn rs 80. Actually in olden days the male were often engaged in war. So the female had to take care of the family and that is the reason children here take mother's surname. Boy here are expected to be independent.
