Few famines before british rule, dozens during, and none after.
Hmmm....
Must've been the climate!
Churchill, one of the most revered figures in the Anglosphere, celebrated the export of food away from people who were starving. He would respond to questions on it mockingly. In India's case he took a type of joy in it since he hated people who weren't white. Was a different time sure, but he was particularly vile when it came to this.
Churchill wins the HP Lovecraft Award for "outstandingly racist even by the standards of an absurdly racist society".
