The Vaipheis possess various unique social and religious customs that set them apart from other communities and related Kuki-Zo tribes. Historically, the Vaipheis held a profound and private respect for nature, reflected in their social and spiritual customs. They believe that nature, including the soil, forests, and rivers, is closely tied to their overall health. Every administrative, social, economic, and religious endeavor was closely linked to their customary and traditional practices. The book focuses on socioeconomic changes within the Vaiphei community. Its context is based on data from the field survey, discussions with scholars and community elders, and relevant literature concerning the alterations in the Vaiphei socio-economic and cultural systems.
