Hi Philip
Vow! It does make us feel more disappointed that we missed it. Hope we can attend next time even with walking sticks.

The Bengal Famine

Churchill we know is dead, however there are quite a
few more 'monkeys' left !!!!
Subject: Fwd: The Bengal Famine: How the British engineered the worst
genocide in human history for profit

PS
We in British Ceylon also had a similar experience. The older generation in Jaffna used to refer to an 'erlu arisi pancham' - 'the famine of seven grains of rice', when seven grains of rice for each person was the ration, to cook a 'kanji - kandha'. In the Sinhalese vocabulary 'Kollu Kaapu kaley' is still referred to as when people consumed 'kollu' - oats meant for the horses.
