This is really horrible Bengal-famine-1943It is easy to romanticise about this especially with the imperialist nostalgia in vogue through the writings of Niall Fergusson and Andrew Roberts. But under colonialism India suffered constant famines which killed millions. The Bengal Famine of 1943 killed 5 million alone. Churchill diverted food away from the Indian masses to feed British troops, as people were forced to eat vomit in order to survive. At the same time India contributed the largest volunteer army ever, which fought fascism and defended the British Empire. Yet this gets scant mention and even less recognition. Yet Hindu Forum and Hindu Council fight each other to get that imperialist medal pinned to their chest while millions who are closer to them in DNA than their former imperialist rulers, languish unrecognised and unrewarded.
