India's Majuli world's largest river island: Guinness

Guinness World Records has officially recognised Majuli located in the Brahmaputra river in North East India as the world's largest river island. Home to around 1,60,000 people, the island presently covers an approximate area of 880 square kilometres. In the last 30-40 years, the island has lost around one third of its area due to erosion caused by flooding.
