’I saw children like us lying dead on the streets’ | I remember the Bengal Famine | BBC News India
In 1943, during World War Two, Bengal in British-run India was hit with a severe food shortage and at least three million people died of starvation and disease. Many people say British Prime Minister Winston Churchill caused the famine. In this film, Zebunnessa Khair recalls what she witnessed as a little child and shares it with her family.
