Answer:
Famines occurred in British India due to the inadequate transportation of food, which in turn was caused due to an absence of a supportive political and social structure.
Bengal has had its fare share of famines in the past including 1770, 1783 and 1897, but the most recent one, of which often British Raj is accused of was in 1943. The famine led to the death of around 3 to 4 million Indians, either due to starvation or due to famine related diseases.
