Very nice video. There are so many hidden jewels in Meghalaya which are not on the regular tourist map. I hope you will find some of them in your next visit. By the way quite a well read guide 👍
The living root bridges of Meghalaya are profound symbols of the wisdom, foresight, and deep community spirit of the Khasi people. Built by interweaving the aerial roots of the Ficus elastica tree, these bridges were not just functional structures but legacies of care and protection. They were created with a vision far beyond the immediate needs of the builders.
Our forefathers, who toiled to guide these roots, never reaped the benefits themselves; they never set foot on the sturdy pathways they shaped. Yet, their selflessness speaks volumes about their values. They labored not for personal gain but for the well-being of future generations, ensuring that their descendants could cross rivers safely, even in the heaviest monsoons.
This remarkable heritage reveals the Khasi people's deep respect for nature and each other. It reflects a collective commitment to safeguarding every member of the tribe, showing how much they cared about community survival, safety, and unity. The living root bridges are more than marvels of bioengineering; they are living testaments to a culture that prioritized communal well-being and sustainability, teaching us the enduring power of thinking beyond oneself.
These are all the works done by our forefathers that we can see today so we should be thankful to them and not to get diverted from the traditional way of living.
And the cleanest place in Asia is in Meghalaya Sohra Mawlynnong village ❤
