The Meira Paibi are one of the most highly respected if not revered institutions in Meitei society. They have a history that goes back decades. In their early years they fought against alcoholism. Then, in the 1980s, they struggled to get the Armed Forces Special Powers Act revoked in Manipur. Now they are at the forefront of the struggle between the Kuki and Meitei communities. Although they insist that they exist to serve all sections of Manipur’s population, they are widely identified as a Meitei organization and, certainly, the accusations and charges they face are of obstructing the Assam Rifles and, even, forcing AR to release Meitei militants accused of killing army soldiers in an ambush in 2015.
