143. Following the Brahmaputra (with Samrat Choudhury and Tora Agarwala)
Untangling the Braided River
The Brahmaputra born as Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet transforms into the Dihang River in Arunachal Pradesh, and later morphs into Luit, Dilao in Assam, is a trans-boundary river flowing through Tibet, India, and Bangladesh – which contributes to the complexity of history, politics and lives in the region.
In this episode of BIC Talks, journalist Tora Agarwal is in conversation with author of the Braided River, Samrat Chowdhury where they talk about the environmental, military and political issues the region faces through Samrat’s book which blends travel, memoir and history with the present.
