The sixth annual assembly of the Nongkhlaw clan was held today the 3rd of February 2025 at Umphyrnai village. Hundreds of clan members of the Nongkhlaw clan attended the congregation with deliberations from the dignitaries on various aspects of matrilineal culture. The auspicious occasion was graced by the delegates of Synjuk Ki Rangbah Kur: Ka Bri u Hynñiewtrep including its president, R L Kharpran, Spokesperson Erwi9n K Syiem Sutnga, and Organising Secretary, Raphael Warjri who also delivered speeches on the need to preserve matrilineal practice and to safeguard from any outside influence of the patriarchal system, which is detrimental to the social fabric of Khasi society.
One of the significant deliberations was on the demand for the legitimate rights of the Nongkhlaw clan over a vast stretch of prime land in Shillong city, which includes the Meghalaya Secretariat hill, the Raj Bhavan, and several plots of important government office locations. Erwin K syiem Sutnga nad Iaineh Nongkhlaw presented detailed accounts of the legal procedures backed with documents on the discrimination of the Nongkhlaw clan over the rights over the said landed properties across Shillong city and suburbs. Raphael Warjri stressed the essence and foundation of the Khasi matrilineal clan lineage, citing the recent publication of his books. On the other hand, President R L Kharpran delved into the contemporary situation prevailing in the society where illegal indulgence is being perpetrated by communities other than the original Khasi community.
