Thread Name: Origins: Sier Lapalang (from Gordon Bok)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sier Lapalang (from Gordon Bok)
I found this thread looking for the lyrics to the song and so may be a little late in claryfying some things. In response to GUEST Subho, post dated 10 May 09, the khasis are not exploited by New Delhi and other Indians. Exploitation is rampant in the Khasi hills, but from our own people in the state Government and administration. It is very unfortunate that the most corrupt officials and ministers are Khasis.   Most Indians knew very little about our hills upto about 10 years ago, but people are now more aware about the north-eastern part of India and are interested in knowing more.
