WowâŚdidnât know about an island in a river in India which is so huge that there are villages and schools and colleges on a single island. Thank you so much for sharing this information @sabya . Just googled and read about the catastrophic flood in 1750 that continued for 15 days, which is mentioned in historical texts and reflected in folklore that created the Majuli island. Because of this flood, part of the Brahmaputra discharged southward into what was the Burhidihingâs lower channel and MÄjuli island was formed. Amazing landscape.
