It takes an hour's ride in a rickety motorised boat on the swelling Brahmaputra river to reach the riverine island of Borghul Char in Assam. The island, which is right in the middle of India's widest river, has been sinking as the water level has been rising. The battle to survive has just started for some 150 families who live on this island at the flood-hit Barpeta district.
