About Dassier Shaute in Keylong, Keylong

Dear friends the term 'Dassier shaute' in lahouli tribal dialect means swearing oath in the name of beloved ones. In district Lahoul spiti particularly in pattan valley middle aged women having usually a common surname Dassi. This beautiful surname was used by our forefathers and elderly ones to get rid of any confusion and misunderstanding, swearing a statement in dassier name was almost a final oath,opponent usually get satisfied after hearing the term ,Dassi usually would be a daughter, sister, wife...whose oath remains alive even after the death...therefore dassier shaute is basically a connection, bonding of love and affection. so dedicated to all those beautiful, respectable Dassi ji of lahoul including my great grand mother, grand mother, mother who also does have the same surname...its my tribute and respect for all those super women, therefore i had chosen this particular tribal term/sentence/word for my upcoming project of tour& travel, logging, hiking, adventure, camping, in district Lahul & spiti Himachal Pradesh. because we lahouli people believe in sharing the food, with an old ethos ' hours to cook, minutes to eat'
