The Konyaks are the most feared ‘Head hunters’ of the tribe. The Konyaks always carried a basket along with them whenever they went to the battles. They behead their enemies in the fight and carry back the severed heads in the basket, the trophies of their valour. These heads were later put on the walls and doorways as a display
The Indian government had imposed a ban on this practise in 1960, however, they continued the tradition for a few more years. However, the next generations started adapting Baptist-based Christianity. The living former practitioners of the culture wore hats made of hunted pigs’ horns, wild bear or goat’s hair and hornbill feathers and ear piercings made of animal bones
One of the few age-old traditions that is still in practise despite the changing culture. The Rungus, carry a distinct language with them, a few own dialects, their own costumes, architecture style and their ‘aadat’(customs). Most of the other tribes of the Kadazan-Dusun community had similar dresses and attires: simple black sarongs for the women, wide black trousers for the men and beaded accessories.
Like the head hunters, the elder generation still dress their age-old way. The times when outside influences did not adulterate their practices.
We have been taught of, or at least made to believe that the ‘men’ in the family always have the upper hand in everything. They always inherited the properties; boys took over after their fathers in business and family matters.
With education, the situation changed and the girls in the family also got their rights, equality. Here is a tradition, but, that right from the beginning.
The Khasi community is following a matrilineal culture, that is, the men carry the surname of their ‘mother’, move to their mother-in-law’s home after marriage. The property is also inherited by the women, often as Khasi men had to leave home to fight never ending wars forcing the women to take their roles in society. Their women worked and were independent
The Thailand tradition has its origin rooted to the Indian subcontinent. As said, they also followed sacrifices to the daemonic gods, that included both human and animal sacrifices, especially the blood sacrifice. With changing, evolving cultures the actual blood sacrifices had an alternative. Different sections changed to different alternatives and the Thai chose to offer the “Red Colored Fanta”- a color close to the blood
Thailand being the largest consumer of Red Fanta, most of it are actually offered to the gods. Beware, if you happened to consume the Red Fanta in Thailand, high chances that you might get frowned upon, as they are offered to the “daemonic gods”
The Kalash, a uniquely interesting cultured people around the world, are from three small valleys in the mountains of western Pakistan: Bumburet, Rumboor, and Birir. The valleys lead to mountains bordering Afghanistan.
It is highly belived that they are the descendants of the armies of Alexander the Great, stating some of his men stayed behind on the Indian subcontinent after his campaign through the region. The Kalash also carries genes that show an injection of European DNA around the time of Alexander’s campaign.
Many men and women have fair skin and light eyes, an uncommon skin tone in south Asia
They have their own religion and culture. Pakistan is a Muslim country, the Kalash are animists, a culture that is believed to be linked to ancient Hinduism. The Kalash people have their own alcohol, prepared by them and for them. Women wear brightly coloured dresses and headpieces with embroidery unique to the Kalash people.
