THE SPREAD OF

FAMINE

It was hot at Padachina even for a summer day.in this village were many houses,but not a soul could be seen anywhere.

The british Empire did nothing to reduce the famine in india.one such example is the above picture published in anewspaper under the caption “The famine in india-Distribution of relief to the sufferers at Bellary,Madras Presidency”.

Then during the rainy season it rained plentifully.Not a drop of rain fell during the remaining months of the season.The rice field dried into heaps of straw

People of certain castes began to eat cats, dogs and rats

Fever,cholera, tuberculosis and smallpox reaped a rich harvest in human lives. Smallpox thrived most,for there was not a home where it did not claim some victims.
