They eat pork and beef and for a cereal they eat rice. Women help with agriculture and property follows the female lineage but men are in charge of it. Cultivation is the main work of the Garo there. In Assam, the Garo speak Garo and Assamese. In Nagaland they speak Nagamese and read and write in Roman. In Tripura they speak Bengali and Kakbarak. In West Bengal they read and write Bengali. Most of the Garo are Christian. Most work in agriculture. Prayer Points Pray that the Garo Christians give the gospel message to non-Christians in India. Pray that they are protected.
