Majuli is the largest river island in the Brahmaputra River in Assam, India. It was formed in 1750 when the Brahmaputra River split into two branches during a catastrophic 15-day flood. The peoples of Majuli are mostly tribal groups like the Mishing, Deori, and Sonowal Kacharis. For the past 500 years, Majuli has been the cultural capital and cradle of Assamese civilization, hosting popular festivals like the three-day Raas festival. However, Majuli is constantly eroding due to the Brahmaputra River, losing around 100 square feet per year, threatening its future existence.

8. MAJULI was once the largest river island, but due
to constant land erosion by the water of the
Brahmaputra, its area has been reduced to a
great extent. Recent stastics shows that, each
year, a minimum of 100 sq. feet are being erased
by the water of Brahmaputra. Many
preservatives are being taken by the assam
govt. but none has proved to be best to protect
this island.
