Indian History - Famine in British India-Genocide
The late 18th and 19th centuries saw increase in the incidence of severe famine. These famines in British India were bad enough to have a remarkable impact on the long term population growth of the country, especially in the half century between 1871–1921. The first, the Bengal famine of 1770, is estimated to have taken the lives of nearly one-third of the population of the region—about 10 million people. The impact of the famine caused East India Company revenues from Bengal to decline to £174,300 in 1770–71. The stock price of the East India Company fell sharply as a result. The company was forced to obtain a loan of £1 million from the Bank of England to fund the annual military budget of between £60,000–1 million. Attempts were later made to show that net revenue was unaffected by the famine, but this was possible only because the collection had been "violently kept up to its former standard". The 1901 Famine Commission found that twelve famines and four "severe scarcities" took place between 1765 and 1858. Between 30 to 40 million people died in the famines upto 1900.

Indian history books is devoid of any mention of how the British engineered the famine in India for profit, They also failed to mention the contempt the then British Prime Minister Winston Churchill hold over the Indians. Not just Churchill refused take any action to alleviate the famine, he even actively opposed those who tried to do so. If Ghandi became the India's first PM, maybe this issue would've been address properly. But Ghandi was assassinated and the anglophile Nehru became the first PM instead.

The Indians philosophy of live and let live which embodies the principles of Vedas and Upanishads and the brahminical philosophies of Advantage Vedanta has made the Hindus inherently psychologically weak as a united nation from the early middle ages. This has led to the prosperous Indian lands over run by the central Asian tribes and khanates which plundered India culturally forcing themto adopt a Persian culture and religion.
Even after the first wave of invasions which crept into the vast hinterlands such as the sultanate of Madurai and carnatic, the Hindus failed to learn and be united thus opening a door for a second wave of invasions and plundering by the colonial powers of British and the french. Thus i can easily say that the root cause of India's lost richness is in its cultural aspects which is propagated by its traditional Hindu religion and customs. -
