Located at the edge of Assam, Dhubri is an entry point into Bangladesh. Its location has been a point of contention between the two countries. It is portrayed as a gateway for illegal immigrants. Until 1874, Dhubri was under the Koch Rajbongshi kings. Today, it is home to mostly Bengalis, especially Bengali Muslims.
Dhubri also faces the challenge of erosion that renders hundreds homeless, eating up homes, schools and even health facilities every year. However, change is difficult in a region that's battered by the fury of the Brahmaputra.
EastMojo's Editor-in-Chief Karma S Paljor travelled to Fakirganj, a village on the south bank of the Brahmaputra to provide a ground report on the apathies of the people in the region.
