Nice Liverpool Conquered England Europe World You’ll Never Walk Alone Shirt
The scarcity, Mukherjee writes, was caused by large-scale exports of food from
India for use in the war theatres and consumption in Britain - India exported
more Nice Liverpool Conquered England Europe World You’ll Never Walk Alone Shirt than 70,000 tonnes of rice between January and July 1943, even as the
famine set in. This would have kept nearly 400,000 people alive for a full year.
Mr Churchill turned down fervent pleas to export food to India citing a shortage
of ships - this when shiploads of Australian wheat, for example, would pass by
India to be stored for future consumption in Europe. As imports dropped, prices
shot up and hoarders made a killing. Mr Churchill also pushed a scorched earth
policy - which went by the sinister name of Denial Policy - in coastal Bengal
where the colonisers feared the Japanese would land. So authorities removed
boats (the lifeline of the region) and the police destroyed and seized rice
stocks.I guess it more like Stalin's gulags than death camps. Were the people going to die and did the controlling government make conscious choices that they knew would kill people? Yeah. Did they care they died? No. Did they want them to die? Well it meant they weren't eating any more food but at the same time if they could work them to death in the name of the empire, the longer they lived, the more they produced. But again they chose to kill them.
