COMING UP at 1330 @bbcradio4 ep 4 of #ThreeMillion. I discover lost tapes which throw new light on colonial responsibility & speak to Max Hastings abt Churchill. Max says he learnt of the #bengalfamine around 2000 - smth he says he is not proud of “but that was the way it was.”
At least three million people died in the Bengal famine in British India during WW2. There is no memorial or even a plaque to them anywhere in the world. #ThreeMillion tells their story through extraordinary eyewitness accounts. Listen NOW @bbcsounds

Listen to @kavpuri new series for a moving & shocking account of the Bengal famine. Witness testimony & survivor accounts remember 3 million who died & reflect on causes - some uncomfortable from a British perspective @LondonMetUni @OralHistorySoc bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2024/d…
