I'm SUBHAMOY BHATTACHARJEE, I'm from India's North-East - an amazing land of many contradictions. It's a magnificently beautiful region, but plagued with myriad conflicts; replete with abundant natural and diverse cultural resources, but weighed down by poverty and backwardness. The mighty Brahmaputra - ' Tsangpo ' in neighboring Tibet - and other rivers add to its splendor and provide sustenance to millions for most of the year, but impoverish the same people during monsoon every year.
