The Bengal Famine of 1943: Man-Made Catastrophe That Shaped a Nation
Om avsnittet
In 1943, East Bengal was devastated by a famine that killed an estimated three million people. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the complex causes—wartime policies, Churchill's decisions, the cyclone, and colonial neglect—and how this tragedy fueled Bengali nationalism and demands for autonomy. They discuss the Amartya Sen thesis, the role of Viceroy Linlithgow, and the famine's long shadow over Bangladesh's independence movement. A sobering look at how hunger became a political turning point.
