In this episode of The Complete History of India, Lucas and Luna examine the catastrophic Great Indian Famine of 1876–1878, often called the Second Great Famine. While previous episodes covered Gandhi’s Salt March and general colonial economics, this conversation zooms in on the specific administrative failures that turned a drought into a humanitarian disaster. We explore how Viceroy Lord Lytton’s adherence to laissez-faire economics, combined with the export of grain during shortages, led to millions of deaths. The hosts discuss the role of Richard Strachey, the establishment of public works as a form of relief, and the political motivations behind the harsh response. By looking at primary reports and modern historical analysis, we uncover how imperial policy prioritized market stability over human life, leaving a legacy of trauma that shaped future Indian nationalism. This is a deep dive into one of the darkest chapters of British rule, focusing on the bureaucratic machinery of starvation. #GreatIndianFamine #LordLytton #RichardStrachey #BritishRaj #MadrasPresidency #BombayPresidency #LaissezFaire #ViceroyOfIndia #PublicWorks #ColonialEconomics #IndianHistory #FexingoHistory #History #NonInterventionistPolicy #Starvation #ImperialPolicy #SouthAsia #HumanitarianCrisis Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
