Title: Garo Folk tale “Jugi Silchi”

In the Garo Hills, a beautiful girl named Jugi Silchi caught the eye of Ahom Raja, the King of Assam. However, the Garo community opposed her marriage to the king, fearing cultural and societal implications. To protect Jugi Silchi, the community hid her in a cave.
The folk tale doesn’t reveal what has happened to Jugi Silchi after hiding her . He said that it is possible that her parents or community members took care of her, ensuring her safety and well-being.This folk tale highlights the Garo community’s strong sense of protection and cultural preservation. It also showcases the interactions and power dynamics between the Garo people and the Ahom kingdom.
