Answer 1

The Great Bengal Famine of 1943 was a large famine in Bengal, a state in British-ruled India, claiming the lives of at least three and a half million people.Today it is largely forgotten outside the area where it happened, but it is frequently brought up as an "argument" against Churchill by Holocaust deniers, Nazi sympathizers and cranks of all kinds

Answer 2

The Bengal famine of 1943 (Bengali: Pañcāśēra manwantara) was a major famine in the Bengal province[B] in British India during World War II. An estimated 2.1 million,[A] out of a population of 60.3 million,[10] 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.
