Famine – Causes & Effects
The literal meaning of Famine is “extreme inadequacy and the scarcity of food.” Famine is the phenomenon which occurs in a vast terrestrial area due to various environmental and biological reasons. Some of the prime reasons are population imbalance, scarcity of water or lack of rainfall, population imbalance, crop failure, government policies.
Famine in India
Famine in Indian sub-continent is a chronicle feature. Agriculture in India is heavily dependent on a suitable climate. A summer monsoon is a must for the irrigation of crops. Lack of rainfall and droughts lead to famines in India between 11th and 17th centuries severely.

Made made Reasons
Lack of food (due to no crop failure or no storage of food)No proper food distribution in certain regionsConsumption of contaminated water and air. Crop irrigation impossible in such situations.
Effects of Famine
Starvation is nothing but biological consequences of continuous scarcity of food. During the famine, starvation occurs on a mass scale.
Various Diseases occurs in the human body during the famine. Like – Cholera, where a large amount of watery diarrhea. It is caused by bacteria, Vibrio Cholerae, which leads an increased amount of water to be increased from cells that line the intestines. Other symptoms include abdominal cramps, dry, mucous membranes, mouth, and skin, excessive thirst and lethargy.
Dropsy, which is now referred as edema. Due to excessive fluid under the skin, the body swells. The affected area often retains a dimple after being pressed for few seconds.
Dysentery is another condition which affects the human body, where a bacterial infection is spread by water, stool, and food. Poor sanitation, contaminated food and water and crowded living conditions lead to dysentery. Symptoms include blood in stool, abdominal pain,diarrhea, and fever.
