Abstract

The Bengal famine of 1943 has received significant attention from academia, politicians and the public. This is the result both of its considerable death toll and the range of factors held responsible, including politicians. However, despite the quantity of discussion and controversy that it has generated, three areas have thus far been insufficiently addressed: the results of the Bengal Food Drive, the geographic link between famine and the 'denial policy', and the economic Balkanisation of India. This article addresses these areas to draw a more rounded conclusion on the debate around the famine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
