In the traditional political system of the Khasis, each clan had its own council which was presided over by the clan headman. The name of the council was :

Durbar Kup

The correct answer is Option (2) - Durbar Kup

Many tribal areas have had a rich tradition of grassroot democratic functioning. An illustrative example is from Meghalaya. All the three major ethnic tribal groups, namely, the Khasis, Jaintias and the Garos have their own traditional political institutions that have existed for hundreds of years. These political institutions were fairly well-developed and functioned at various tiers, such as the village level, clan level and state level. For instance, in the traditional political system of the Khasis each clan had its own council known as the ‘Durbar Kur’ which was presided over by the clan headman. Though there is a long tradition of grassroot political institutions in Meghalaya, a large chunk of tribal areas lie outside the provisions of the 73rd Amendment. This may be because the concerned policy makers did not wish to interfere with the traditional tribal institutions.
