While earlier episodes covered the Mughal splendor and the Sepoy Mutiny, this episode examines a darker chapter: the catastrophic famines of the late nineteenth century. We focus on the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which devastated South India under British colonial rule. Lucas details how rigid free-market ideologies, championed by officials like Richard Strachey and Lord Lytton, prioritized export revenue over local relief. Luna guides the narrative as we explore the specific failures in grain transport, the controversial reliance on public works programs, and the immense human cost recorded in Madras and Bombay presidencies. We also look at the limited but significant response from Indian philanthropists and the subsequent political backlash that began to fracture the consensus of imperial loyalty. This is a story of bureaucracy, climate, and the tragic consequences of applying abstract economic theories to starving populations. #GreatIndianFamine #BritishRaj #RichardStrachey #LordLytton #MadrasPresidency #BombayPresidency #ViceroyofIndia #ColonialEconomics #FreeMarketIdeology #PublicWorksProgram #GrainExports #SouthIndianHistory #VictorianImperialism #FamineCommission #ThomasMalthus #NonInterventionPolicy #IndianPhilanthropy #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
