And on one or two occasions, in addition, he has mentioned the matter of inflation.”Pethick-Lawrence believed that the main cause was ‘inflation which has led to hoarding, by making it profitable to hold back supplies.’ The reason for local inflation was that locally elected provincial legislatures had stopped the cross-border trade in food stuffs, something Bengal had pushed for when it believed it had a surplus.

For Britain this raises two very particular problems. Churchill was not responsible for the Bengal famine as any actual delving into the facts would have shown.

Why did they feel the need to air a one-sided attack on Britain’s most famous politician? Why did they unquestionably air a false Indian national version of history for India when it’s laughable to imagine them canvassing a British version of history for Britain? First, and in part a legacy of just how advanced we were, Britain’s own view of itself was widely questioned and deconstructed over the course of the 20Like astrologers looking up into the sky and joining dots of light to see lions and scorpions, historians in the United States, Ireland and countless other places can join their chosen dots and paint a picture of national struggle leading to independence. BBC presenters are demonstrably more interested in the first narrative: this is a major conceptual failing on their part. Indian nationalist fantasies about the Bengal famine can’t be the point of the licence fee When they’re crudely amplified by the most powerful megaphone in the land today – the BBC in our case – they can be extremely troublingMost nations have a strong unifying view of themselves that is deeply held and taught in schools.
