During the Second World War, the British government, fearing the invasion of the Japanese army in Bengal, ordered to take out grain reserves from it, as well as confiscated and destroy the boats, depriving the population of the opportunity to engage in fishing. The result of these measures was the fact that in 1943 India, then part of the British Empire, was struck by the most severe hunger. In Bengal, at least 3.5 million people died according to employees of the Calcuttian University. The small book of the Indian economist Kali Ghosh "Hunger in Bengal, which was written in hot pursuit is a deep comprehensive study of the disaster that fell on the people of India. The book can be considered as a source containing an extensive historical, actual, statistical material about the humanitarian catastrophe that occurred in India. The book, no doubt, is a vivid evidence of the era. We hope that the new edition of the book Kali Charan Ghosh "Hunger in Bengal" will cause interest both among experts and a wide range of history lovers
