the bongs have made a lot of mistakes over the years it's true

but this was perhaps their worst and most gravest in history, the only thing worth doing was to completely genocide the poos and instead they taught them english, and worst of all gave them access to the tools of industrial revolution. not a day goes by where i don't curse the fucking bongs for this.

Famines occurred like that before the raj under the Mughals and even before that.

It is to do with the El Niño weather patterns.
India was locked into the Malthusian Trap for a long time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusianism
Malthusian trap states that population grows geometrically but food production grows straight line arithmetically. So food production cannot keep up with population boom. Famines happen in period cycles. This is far worse in India because of the El Niño cycle.

Was not into the 60s with the Norman Borlaug Green Revolution that this problem was fixed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution

The British presence was not the primary cause. They just did nothing when it happened. The average Indian under the raj lived and died never seeing the face of a white man in his life or knowing who Queen Victoria was.
The British ruled as puppet masters of various Indian aristocrats. So if anyone, blame them.

>let me tell you about your country
lel, are you an anglo sexpat

we have our history, and we have our documents and books when the bengal famine of 1943 happened. No point in gaslighting us to disbelieve our lying eyes, we know who was responsible and we will extract the maximum retribution even if it is gumming up the western countries with paki gibs

How many do you think would have died without the English in charge of the shitswamp?

The 1943 Bengal famine was caused by a cyclone. Japanese blockaded the sea between Burma and Bengal. In previous incidents food was sent from Burma to Bengal. The Japanese navy blocked it so no food.

The British just did noting until very late.

Churchill did send a letter to Roosevelt saying
>I am very concerned about the food situation in Bengal
And asked for help from the Americans to deal with it.
He was a racist and looked down on Indians but he never wished any Indian to die.
