From the dusty courtyard of a primary school to the iron bars of a colonial jail, and from the guidance of a guru behind those bars to the Kapili’s roar in flood, Rupai’s life is shaped by both the ferocity of nature and the urgency of history.\u003cbr\u003eFirst published in Assamese in 1952, The Tale of the Kapili is Navakanta Barua’s tender, powerful portrait of a community at the crossroads of tradition and change, blending romance, myth, and political awakening to capture the everlasting bond between a people and their river.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niyogi Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50486140829933,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0355\/1415\/5141\/files\/NaD8iyBTSy.jpg?v=1786709733","url":"https:\/\/rekhtabooks.com\/products\/the-tale-of-the-kapili","provider":"Rekhta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
