Was the Indian famine orchestrated by the British justified?


The British prime minister mercilessly turned down appeals from two successive Viceroys, his own Secretary of State for India and even the President of the US!

Subhas Chandra Bose, who was with the Japanese at the time building the Indian National Army in hopes of freeing India, offered to send rice from Burma, but his offer didn't even get past the censors.

Millions of dead Indians mattered not to the blood-thirsty powers-that-be. What mattered was annihilating the Germans and any other souls who dared resist the hidden world power's plans for global slavery.

Britain's Indian slave army fared no better. Unlike the Axis, who treated their Indian volunteers as equals, the British treated the Indians as their lesser in every way. They earned half of what white soldiers were paid and were discriminated in many other ways, like living conditions, food and worst of all on the battlefield. According to Kundan Singh, a veteran of the Indian National Army, the British kept Indian soldiers on the front lines while white British soldiers remained 'safe behind the wall of Indian soldiers.'

But this was nothing new. Britain treated it's Indian soldiers no different in WWI, even using child soldiers, some as young as ten years old!
Furthermore, British nurses were not even allowed to help wounded Indian soldiers at field hospitals! They were only allowed to supervise orderlies. Imagine that, crossing an ocean to fight another man's war, getting wounded, and then not being good enough to even be treated by a professional.

Winston Churchill left this charming comment to history:
'I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.' - Winston Churchill

I was asking /his/ if there's such a thing as divine authority and whether or not Pharaoh/Caesar/Jesus had it.

There's half a dozen "did Jesus do x,y,z" and "is Christianity/Islam/Judaism x, y, z" threads that don't get deleted mods. Why can't I ask what /his/ thinks of the Great Pyramid's fortuitous coordinates?

lol, I like how some versions of the Bible openly call into question its veracity, like they're intentionally trying to sabotage Christianity.

I notice that "redlining" is a big theme/bugbear in discussions of why the modern American ghetto is such a savage place. But it tends to be tossed out there as part of a word-salad of maladies and not actually described very robustly - ie, descriptions of "redlining" do not explain why limiting home-buyers to specific geographic areas would therefore lead to mass-violence and other woes.

From a global perspective, things that could be described as "redlining" have been the norm in many different societies across time. China has an entire system of residency permits to prevent rural peasants from flooding too quickly into larger cities, for example. This has not apparently led to gang-warfare in the streets of Chinese towns due to redlining. In a country like Malaysia, ethnic housing segregation is common and expected - this does not seem to lead to gangsterism.

What actually IS the causal mechanism being asserted between historical redlining in (some) American cities and local social malefaction in 2017? Every attempt by historians to describe the process ends up relying on unstated/implicit premises where we just have to assume that A ("redlining") causes B (social disorder) by some force of nature. Is the case more robust than that? Am I being uncharitable?

Don't let a woman, wiggling her behind,
and flaterring and coaxing, take you in;
she wants your barn: women is just a cheat.
