The Chin, Kuki, Mizo and Zomi tribes who are collectively known as Zo are no exception. They have close cultural and religious affinities and a common ancestor called Zo. Historically, they have different theories of origin and migration based on their folklores, folktales and songs narrated down from one generation to another. The different origin theories like the Khul/Chhinlung or Cave origin theory, Chin Hills origin theory and Lost tribe (Manmasi) theory are among the most significant theories so far which speak to some extent, something about their history and origin. Of late, the Lost Tribe theory has gain momentum which claims that the Zo tribes are among the ten lost tribes of Israel, specifically from the tribe of Manasseh. Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar had recognized them as descendents of Israel in 2005 which was also approved by the Israeli government. Many have consequently immigrated to the 'Holy Land'. On this backdrop, it is worthwhile to study the fact about this claim. This paper is an attempt to critically analyse and assess about the ethnic origin of the Zo people with special reference to the lost tribe theory. Based on culture, oral traditions and Biblical sources, it also tries to support that the Zo people are the ten lost tribe of Israel by substantiating various arguments to validate this origin theory.

It has become an issue almost everywhere including the tribal society in North East India. This article is an attempt to study gender status and role of women in the Paite society, a tribal community in Manipur, Mizoram and Assam. It is also a comparative study of the position of Paite women in their past and present society. The impact of tribal customary laws and modern democratic system as well as the influence of Christianity and education are the main factors which empower the Paite women today. Modernisation and better socioeconomic position are the other important factors highlighted in this study. The present study will examine the various aspects of women empowerment within the Paite tribal community where women fares comparatively better than their counterpart in Indian society.
