Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the devastating impact of famine in India, a recurring tragedy that has plagued the country for centuries. The author meticulously analyzes the factors that contribute to the vulnerability of India to famine, drawing comparisons between its conditions and those of England, which at the time enjoyed relative immunity from such catastrophes. The author delves into the complexities of Indian society and the role of caste in exacerbating the suffering during famines. He explores the reasons behind the prevalence of famine in Asia compared to Europe, highlighting the role of agricultural practices, transportation infrastructure, and social organization. The book further examines the historical context of the "permanent settlement" implemented in Bengal and its unintended consequences for the administration and governance of the region. The author argues that famine is a preventable calamity and advocates for practical measures to mitigate its impact, including the establishment of a permanent administrative machinery, improvements in internal communication, and the creation of irrigation and navigation systems. This book offers a powerful and thought-provoking analysis of the factors contributing to famine in India and provides valuable insights into the potential for its prevention.
