Descrizione

About The Book: This Book contain this essay examines the economic causes of famines in India and provides suggestions to prevent their frequent occurrence. The Punjab Act serves as a model to address the social and political danger of money-lender expropriation of the peasantry, and it is hoped that other provinces will adopt it in the interests of the peasantry. Famines are a crucial and contentious issue in Indian administration and economics, having played a more tragic role in the Empire's history than great wars, revolutions, or pestilences. To fully grasp this subject, it is essential to provide a brief history of famines in the past. The East India Company witnessed twelve famines and four severe scarcities during its ninety years of administration, while the Crown has witnessed ten famines and two severe scarcities during the fifty years of Empire rule that followed.
