Ep#34: Bengal Famine Explained in Hindi: Churchill's Role in Great Bengal Famine 1943 of WW2

​Bengal famine of 1943 was a horrific famine that affected Bengal in British India in 1943 during the second world war. It resulted in the deaths of some three million people due to malnutrition or disease. While many famines are the result of inadequate food supply, the Bengal famine did not coincide with any significant shortfall in food production. According to the Indian economist Amartya Sen, who himself witnessed the famine as a nine-year-old boy, the famine was the result of an entitlement failure. In other words, the distribution of the food supply throughout Bengali society was hindered primarily by economic factors that affected the ability of certain groups of people to purchase food. In this video, I explain the Bengal Famine in Hindi and the role Winston Churchill played to make the famine worse than it already was. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is Episode #34 of my World War 2 series - this series covers the entire timeline of the second world war.
