The Paites are indigenous tribes of Mizoram under the Greater Assam state since 1300 AD. The Tribal Research Institute of Mizoram in their published book,”Paite in Mizoram” stated that the Paite people entered the present Mizoram along with Palian Chief of Lushai around the first half of the 17th century. The first census of Lushai Hills by the British in 1901 have recorded that there were 2,870 Paites in Mizoram. In 1921 census, there were 10,460 Paites in Mizoram. But in the subsequent Census operations Paites was not found in such records as ‘Paite’. This injustice is difficult to understand for the minority tribes. If census is carried correctly on ethnic line, the Paite population will not be less than one lakh (1,00,000) in Mizoram state. The Union Government has recognised Paite as one of the tribes in Mizoram vide The Gazette of India Notice No. 10 of 2003 date January 8, 2003 of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 2002.The Paite are not a refugee they are the original inhabitants of Mizoram. Truly speaking, Paites are larger than the Lushai; they live in Chin state of Burma, southern Manipur and north eastern part of Mizoram.
The essential criteria for the creation of Autonomous District Council which is mentioned in the VIth Schedule of the Indian constitution such as; distinctive culture, geographical isolation etc. are fulfilled by the Paites of Mizoram. P.R.Kyndiah, former Governor of Mizoram in his book “Mizo Freedom Fighters” stated that the northern territory of Mizoram was inhabited by Paite and their kindred groups. At present the Paite people are living in thirty two(32) compact villages in the north eastern part of Mizoram. The geographical area occupied by the Paite people is about 2,000 Sq.KM which is fit for creation of new District Council to meet aspiration of the Paite community. The Paites are socially and culturally distinct from other tribes of Mizoram. Major Shakespeare, the then first Superintendent of Lushai Hills said that Paite dialect is unintelligible to Lushai. He also recorded that Paite have distinct culture and custom.
The essentiality for creation of a separate Regional Council for more backward tribes in the north eastern part of Mizo district was supported by the report of the then H.V.Pataskar Commission for the re-organization of Assam Hill areas in 1965-66 which was as follows:
“The dissatisfaction of the small tribe is most marked in the Mizo and North Cachar Hills district and is from them that a large number of representations were received by us. We, therefore, give below a brief description of these tribes, their grievances and allegation made by them. In Mizo district this number of smaller tribes is relatively large. The Lushai, composed of the Ralte, Lushai and Hmar clans constitute the dominant tribes in that district. The smaller Tribes are the Paite in the north east, the Lais(Pawi) and Maras(Lakher) in the south east and Chakmas in the south west Mizoram. Most of them have a number of sub tribes also. The smaller tribe live in a remote area, which has led to their being isolated from the main stream of the socio-economic life of the district. They require separate entity.”
The Paite people have a long history of Non Violence movements in Mizoram since a long time. In the year 1950, few intellectual Paite founded the Mizoram Paite Federation(MPF). They demanded for Regional Council under the VIth Schedule of the Indian constitution within the Mizo district of Assam state. But the movement failed due to the anti chieftainship agitation of the Mizo Union(MU) movement. The movement was again revived in 1960s under the banner of Paite National Council (PNC).The movement again failed due to the Mizo National Front(MNF) outlawed insurgency movement since 1966. They thought that the Paite people were against the MNF movement. In order to stop the Paite demand for Regional Council, the MNF killed the Paite leaders. Being a peace loving people by nature, the Paite never think of retaliating violence for violence. They have in mind that the Lushais are their own brother. After statehood of Mizoram, the PNC (now PTC) again demanded for an autonomous district council again and again.
Now, the Lais, the Chakmas and the Maras have Autonomous District Council in south Mizoram under the sixth schedule of the Indian Constitution. But the Paite people’s demand was totally reject altogether. If the Govt. of Mizoram agree and have created Autonomous District Council even for the non Mizo tribes like Chakma, why not for the Paite? In order to safe-guard the custom, culture and traditions of Paites and to achieve faster socio-economic development, they need to have an Autonomous District Council (ADC). Sixth Schedule, Para 20, Table 1 of the Constitution of India, guaranteed Special Provision and protection for backward and minority communities in India. So, the Paite have right to demand an Autonomous District Council in Mizoram. Please do not object and let us support their demand as far as possible. The creation of Paite Autonomous District Council in the North Eastern belt of Mizoram will strengthen the solidarity and integrity of Mizoram state. It will fulfil the socio-economic and political aspiration of the ethnic groups of the demand area. It will not hamper the Mizo unity, at the same time it is important for the development of Mizoram state. The Paites accepted that they are also Mizo. In order to make Mizoram a develop state; the development should touch each and every corner of the state. In fact, Development does not reach the interior part of the Paite area. The Paite should be given the opportunity to have Autonomous District Council. They deserve to have a separate Autonomous District Council to preserve, promote and propagate their literature, custom, culture and tradition etc. in Mizoram.

The Paite people accepted that they are Mizo.But the problem is that sometimes the Lusei speaking people do not treat them as Mizo.The lusei speaking people consider only Lusei as Mizo.The other tribes they call them as Mizo II or Mizohnahthlak.The Lusei speaking try to disturb the whole community even for one’s fault.So, the Paite people in Mizoram were most vulnerable and easy prey in any incidence.For example,The inner line pass made compulsory for those Paite who have run over to Mizoram during the conflict between Paite and Kuki in Manipur during 1997-98.The Deputy Commissioner of Aizawl has issued an Order vide Memo No.P.11043/1/97-DC(A)/2 dated The 28th October, 1997 that the Paite Refugee living in and around Aizawl should approach DC’s office for issue of ILP. At this instant the Paite leaders approach the National Human Rights Commission(NHRC) and the Ministry of Home Affairs(MHA) .With the intervention of the NHRC and the Home Ministry, the Deputy Commissioner of Aizawl has withdrawn the order for ILP to the Paite.In 22.7.2001 night, some paite and non paite youth engaged in a fight in Sihphir village. As a result of this incident, the Village Council Authority and the Young Mizo Association served a Quit notice to the Paite within August 2001.This quit notice had a tremendous impact even outside Mizoram. With the request of Young Mizo Association, Manipur and Young Paite Association, Manipur, the quit notice was later withdrawn.Therefore, the Paite People need a political safeguard in Mizoram.

If the Govt.of Mizoram consider Paite as Mizo, they should give an opportunities which other tribes also have.For instance, the other tribes like Lushai, Lai, Mara etc. have enough programme in All India Radio Aizawl.The Paite tibe should also enjoy all these things.Now, they are only a few minutes in “Ramfate Zai” Programe.They should be given the opportunity to have a separate composite programme in their dialect like the rest of the other communities in All India Radio, Aizawl Station.They deserve a permanent separate composite programme on their own dialect to promote their audio literature. There is a need to have Paite Programme in All India Radio, Aizawl Station so as to enable them to preserve, promote and propagate their literature, custom, culture and tradition.

For the Paite people it is very difficult to survive in Mizoram. They have to stand in their own feet and no hope for Govt. assistance. It is very difficult to get for the Paite to get Job under Mizoram Government. Because most of the interview Board members are Lusei. They can easily identify the Paite as they don’t have “a’ or “I” in their names. They become the most sufferers in any kind of competitive examination. Even if they do well in written chances of selection is very less in interview. For the other tribes such as Mara, they have Board Member in Mizoram Public Service Commission(MPSC) namely Pu H.Siku. So that every year, at least one Mara qualified in the Mizoram Civil Service(MCS) examination. But for the Paite Candidates it is very difficult to qualified these kind of exams under Mizoram Government. So, the Paite need separate budget in order to make them and their region develop.
