VL. Read the following passage and prepare notes
Making
The world's worst recorded food disaster happened in 1943 in British ruled India known as the Bengal
Famnine. An estimated four million people died of hunger that year alone in Eastern India (that included
today's Bangladesh). The initial theory put forward to explain that catastrophe was that there was an acute
shortfall in food production in the area. However, Indian economist Amartya Sen (recipient of the Nobel
Prize for Economics, 1998) has established that while food shortage was a contributor to the problem, a
more potent factor was the result of hysteria related to World War II which made food supplies a low
priority for the British rulers. The hysteria was further exploited by Indian traders who hoarded food in
order to sell at higher prices.
Nevertheless when the British left India four years later in 1947, India continued to be haunted by
memories of the Bengai Famine. It was therefore natural that food security was a paramount item on free
India's agenda. This awareness led. on old hand to the Green Revolution in India and on the other,
legislative measures to ensure that businessmen would never again be able to hoard food for reasons of
profit. However, the term is applied to the period from 1967 to 1978. Between 1947 and 1967, efforts at
achieving food self sufficiencies were not entirely successful. Efforts until 1967 largely concentrated on
expanding the farming areas. But starvation deaths were still being reported in the newspapers. In a
perfect case of Malthusian economics, population was growing at much faster rate than food production
This called for drastic action to increase yield. The action came in the form of Green Revolution.​
