Famine Aspects Of Bengal Districts is a book written by William Wilson Hunter in 1874. The book provides a comprehensive study of the famine conditions in various districts of Bengal during the 19th century. Hunter was a British civil servant who served in India during the colonial period, and he witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of famine on the people of Bengal.The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different district of Bengal. Hunter provides detailed descriptions of the physical and social conditions of each district, including the climate, soil, crops, and population. He also describes the various factors that contributed to famine, such as drought, crop failure, and economic policies.Throughout the book, Hunter emphasizes the need for better infrastructure and policies to prevent and mitigate the effects of famine. He argues that the British government has a responsibility to provide relief to the people of Bengal during times of crisis, and he provides examples of successful relief efforts in other parts of India.Famine Aspects Of Bengal Districts is an important historical document that provides insight into the devastating effects of famine on the people of Bengal during the colonial period. It also highlights the need for better policies and infrastructure to prevent and mitigate the effects of famine in the future.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
