How are Khasi people decreasing

The Khasi people are an indigenous ethnic group of Meghalaya in north-eastern India with a significant population in the bordering state of Assam, and in certain parts of Bangladesh. The Khasi people form the majority of the population of the eastern part of Meghalaya, and is the state's largest community, with around 48% of the population of Meghalaya. They are among the few Austroasiatic-speaking peoples in South Asia.

Explanation:

Often, in search of new knowledge, new means of communication and dress code, new eating habits, we turn a blind eye to our own existing but gradually diminishing rarity.

Youngsters think that acting, talking or behaving like a Khasi is old fashioned and unacceptable in the contemporary world of 'want to be' and 'who/what is trending.'

However, the outskirts of Shillong are at the bottom of the barrel, according to most of our 'westernised youths.' Students from villages who make their stay in Shillong to study are not usually the top choices of 'Khynnah sor' (the town's youth) to hang out with. Youngsters in the urban areas dominate or categorise those coming from villages as 'nongkyndong' (villagers) because of their vernacular accent and lack of style.

It is because of such reasons too, that even villagers who used to embrace the Khasi culture, are starting to follow the baseless and common modern culture. Hence, the cycle repeats; one person trying to please another, for the sole reason of being accepted.
