A month after Assam's worst flood in living memory, the argument over its cause goes on
- More than 100 people died and 700,000 were displaced when rivers came down out of the hills into eastern Assam in July.

- Researchers, opposition politicians and many of the survivors blame what has been taken out of the riverbeds and the forests.
