Young Professionals of the Brahmaputra Basin
<p>It is not often that there is a platform successfully bringing together emerging professionals working on the various aspects of a particular river basin, let alone the Brahmaputra basin, which is already under-researched. Therefore, this session on <strong>"Young Professionals of the Brahmaputra Basin"</strong> attempts to bring young professionals working on diverse research initiatives to talk about the river and what inspired them to engage with the river. And to provide with hope that the purpose of disentangling the river is being pursued by the younger generation and the possibility of peaceful co-habitation with the river might just be realized, maybe somewhere in the near future!</p> <p>Guests:<br> Xiawei Liao, Water Specialist, World Bank Beijing office</p> <p>Arundhati Deka, Research Associate, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Guwahati</p> <p>Salma Begum, PhD Scholar, International Centre of Urbanism, KU Leuven</p> <p>Swagata Das, PhD Scholar, International Centre of Urbanism, KU Leuven</p> <p>Music:<br> Dhowe Dhowe by Angaraag Papon Mahanta</p> <p>Coordinating team:<br> Natasha Hazarika, Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India</p> <p>Arundhati Deka, Research Associate, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India<br> Diksha Verma, Student, Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India<br> Aryan Rathod, Student, Computer Science, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India</p>

Culture and Music of the Brahmaputra Basin
<p>The Yarlung Tsangpo-Brahmaputra-Jamuna river basin is a perfect example of cultural assimilation. It is a transboundary water body that flows across four countries. The river banks of the basin are home to diverse indigenous groups and other communities, each with their own rich cultural heritage. The culture developed on the banks of the Brahmaputra is itself a rendezvous of hundreds of tribes and communities, that can be traced back to centuries of peaceful co-existence. Therefore, what appears as heterogeneity and multiculturalism, has a strong sense of oneness identified by the deep relationship with the river. This session <strong>“Culture and Music of the Brahmaputra Basin”</strong> is an ode to this oneness that binds us to the river and to one another.</p> <p>Guests:<br> Sanjoy Hazarika, Director, Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, and Founder and Managing Trustee, Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research (CNES)</p> <p>Shamnaz Ahmed Rumi, Consortium Coordinator, SuBaSh consortium in Bangladesh</p> <p>Music:<br> Bihu Naam(Pak Pak) by Angaraag Papon Mahanta; Amay Bhasaili Re Amay Dubaili Re by Manabendra Mukherjee; Joi Joi Nobojato Bangladesh by Bhupen Hazarika; O Nadire, Ekti Katha by Hemanta Mukherjee</p> <p>Host:<br> Anamika Barua, Professor, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India</p> <p>Coordinating team:<br> Natasha Hazarika, Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India<br> Arundhati Deka, Research Associate, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India<br> Diksha Verma, Student, Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India<br> Aryan Rathod, Student, Computer Science, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India</p>
