Boats and community life
Lovely story. When Nehru visited the Alappuzha backwaters of Kerala in 1952, a boat race was organised in his honour. A boat named Nadubhagam Chundan won the race. An annual boat race has been held on the Punnamada Lake ever since.
This year a multinational team of women won the women’s boat race.
