Study provides scientific support for claims that Churchill-era British policy contributed significantly to the disaster. In 1942-43, rice stocks continued to depart India despite London’s rejection of the Indian viceroy’s urgent plea for more than 1 million tonnes of emergency wheat supplies. Churchill is said to have blamed the famine on Indians “breeding like rabbits” and questioned how Mahatma Gandhi was still alive despite the starvation.
