This book exposes the negligence that continues to cause famines in India. The author, a former civil servant, presents evidence showing that since 1860, ten severe famines and countless local famines in India have killed an estimated 15 million people. Despite a Royal Commission set up after the devastation of the 1880 famine, the issue continues, with the worst famine in Indian history occurring in the decade before this book was written. The author presents scholarly evidence from three other commissions set up to expose the issue; the consensus that land tax reform, irrigation, and economic drain are the causes of famine is tragically met with political inaction. Exploring the political and economic issues in depth, this book offers compelling insight into a preventable tragedy.
