Title

Old man river

Description

98 year old Kurak Pegu has worked hard throughout his life to survive and sustain along with his family in flood prone Majuli in Assam. He knows that the river Brahmaputra has been both very kind and harsh at the same time. He knows this river inside out and believes that the wisdom of this traditional knowledge has all the strength to cope with all the odds of nature. He is worried about the unpredictable weather changes – the monsoon becoming more erratic and floods more destructive.
