Was the bengal famine a genocide?

It would have had to have been deliberate, Churchill just didn't care either way. I recall reading somewhere that he said regarding the deaths of so many millions, that it was irrelevant, as they breed like rabbits anyway.

It wasn't the case that he pulled a lever in Whitehall and millions of Indians does in Bengal. Running the Empire was a logistical and bureaucratic challenge at the best of times, let alone while fighting a total war global in scope. It was more the case of him ignoring that particular issue in favour of prioritizing others.

Yes.

Yes. Not in negligence but an active denial of aid even from other countries.

It's a repeat of the Irish famine.

He's known to be racist against Hindus and Indians in general.
