in 1943 the Bengal famine occur and one of the most infamous famines in Indian history. In famines many people were killed.

The Bengal famine of 1943 struck the Bengal Province of pre-partition India.

Estimates are that between 1.5 and 4 million people died of starvation, malnutrition and disease, out of Bengal’s 60.3 million population, half of them dying from disease after food became available in December 1943.

As in previous Bengal famines,the highest mortality was not in previously very poor groups, but among artisans and small traders whose income vanished when people spent all they had on food and did not employ cobblers, carpenters, etc.

The food crisis increased from the beginning of 1943, becoming a serious famine from mid-1943. This ended with the harvesting of the December 1943 rice crop, though continuing famine relief was needed for the next few months.

Bengal Famine of 1943 was one of the most infamous famines known to India History.

In this famine many million people were killed. 
It was the time when India was ruled by the British government.
And as we know the Britishers expolited Indians to a very great extent which turned India from Gloden bird to a loan needing Country.

The main reasons of this famine was:
1. It was he time of WW2 and the plantaions and farmers of India were called to fulfill the food needs of the British soldiers. So, most of the produce about 80% was given to Britan. This meant low food content for Indians

2. The Britishers exploited all the money of the Bengal province making all the people face starvation and disease

3. The health condiation and poverty level wsa high due to which helth condiations detorited to a great extent.

4. Also due to war inflation had rised due to which crops couldn't be brought.

So, these were the main consequences of Bengal famine

HOPE U UNDERSTOOD THE CONCEPT.....................
