SHILLONG: The Syngkhong Rympei Thymmai (SRT), Ri Bhoi, has appealed to the Khasi indigenous community to switch to patrilineal descent to ensure a strong familial bond.
In a statement issued here, the vice president of SRT, J W Sohkhia, said a public meeting held by SRT at Umling Lambrang, Ri Bhoi, on May 12 discussed the reason behind the breakdown of families, economic and administrative crisis in the absence of male members standing on a strong foundation as seen in other patrilineal societies.
Turning to the break-down of families, Sohkhia said Khasi males mostly indulged in alcoholism leading to their death and some of them are driven away from home for one mistake or the other.
