There are some similarities between the Irish and Indian Famines, the most obvious being access to food that was in each country and the lack of response of the British authorities to the starving millions. Food carts in Ireland were ordered to be guarded by police and soldiers as they left the country. Government response was to let nature takes it course and not close the ports to food export which resulted in the deaths of over one million. Trevelyan's report, The Irish Crisis, is an excellent primary source and makes this clear as do comments by the British PM of the time John Russell. Nassau Senior, economic advisor to the British Government, mused about how many Irish dead it would take to solve the economic problems of the island. Any good book on the Irish Famine will document this. Christine Kinealy’ s This Great Calamity. The Irish Famine 1845-52 is a good source.

Isish famine occurs in irish.
Irish famine or the Great Hunger was a period of mass starvation, disease, and emigration in Ireland between 1845 and 1849. It is sometimes referred to, mostly outside Ireland, as the Irish Potato Famine, because about two-fifths of the population was solely reliant on this cheap crop for a number of historical reasons.During the famine, about one million people died and a million more emigrated from Ireland,causing the island's population to fall by between 20% and 25%.
Bengal famine occurs in Bengal.
was a major famine in the Bengal provinces in British India during World War II. An estimated 2.1 million, out of a population of 60.3 million, died from starvation, malaria and other diseases aggravated by malnutrition, population displacement, unsanitary conditions, and lack of health care. Millions were impoverished as the crisis overwhelmed large segments of the economy and social fabric. Historians have frequently characterised the famine as "man-made", asserting that colonial government policies first created then exacerbated the crisis. A minority view holds that the famine arose from natural causes.
