THE PAITE ECONOMIC LIFE:
The Paite economy life is predominantly agricultural. In order to make a
living both sexes worked in the paddy field all days except in case of
sickness. Their principal food was rice which they produce for
themselves in their fields every family was expected to be self
sufficient in food and all needed materials for living. (A) Jhuming: -
Jhuming demands every day hard labors. Immediately after eating the
morning meal, while it was still dark, all the adults in the family
went to the paddy field to work, and carried their lunch. They have no
time to take care their children's nor sending for Educations. It is
said that before the coming of Christianity people used to say, "Oh, how we wished to see our children in broad daylight at least once". There was no Sunday then 8. (B) Availability of public help:
When a family realized that they was not in a position to complete
weeding their field, they could avail themselves of the help of the
public in any of the following ways:-
(i) Thachial: (It means inviting energy) The
family would invite friends, relatives, neighbors to lend help. The
host will prepare chicken curry for everyone in little bamboo pipes,
called "Khawn" Labors thus rendered is called," Thakuan" and was considered a debt to repay when they too would need the same help. Vokban and Thathot, procedure same as above.
(C) Work technique:
The blacksmith of the village will made iron tools for helping weeding
fields for everyone. The blacksmith will be free from public activities
and when harvest time "Buhsun" should be given to him considered as reward. At weeding fields, the workers always will accompanied by two musicians, "drum beater" and "the beater of Mithun Horns".
Generally, 15 October every year is harvesting Seasons. If the fields
produced sufficient for hold year, they considered as able family and
fear by others. So far the Paites were waiting "the light of Gospel"
that will bring to them9.
