This book flows with the Brahmaputra from Tibet to the Ganga, blending travel, memoir and history
An excerpt from ‘The Braided River: A Journey Along The Brahmaputra’, by Samrat Choudhury.
We had not thought that the Brahmaputra would be hard to find. It’s huge, it’s a river, and it’s right there. I had seen it many times in Guwahati, where it is a single channel of water flowing between two banks and the opposite bank is visible, and of course I had seen it neatly marked on maps. After our first day in Dibrugarh, I realised something was amiss.
