Because of the Famine, the political system of the country was not maintained properly and people were facing the problem of various crises within the country. 65% of the total population of Bangladesh could not meet their daily requirement. On that time Zainul Abedin came to Calcutta in 1943 to draw the cycle of living people who were suffered from the Bengal Famine in 1943 (Powell and Matthew 2016). According to the Indian History, India has faced many challenges and problems at the time of British Empire's era, and the incident of Bengal Famine in 1943 is one of them which destroyed the region of Bengal at British Indians Times. This strategic famine includes the region of current-day West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar and Bangladesh country in India. These entire provinces are destroyed because of Bengal Famine in 1943. Almost 3 million people died in Famine in which around 1.5 million died because of malnutrition, disease and starvation. Though production of food was sufficient in 1943 in comparison to 1941, because of British Empire, 60% of the foods has fixed for their Army for fighting with Japanese. The Famine affected vital economic difficulties. The famine affected more on poor people (Milliken 2015). According to History, This strategy of Bengal Famine happened at the time of World War II (1939-1945). The Second World War is considered as the most spreading war in History. Due to Bengal Famine of 1943, the Second World War has been affected more economically and socially. Asia was dominated by the Japan Empire, and the War was running at the time of Famine in 1943. The Famine is considered as the second Famine in Bengal which destroyed the whole management system of British Indians (Kaur and Rajender 2014). The Great Famine of Bengal in 1943 is not only caused by the failure of the crop but was large because of increase in the urban demand. The main reason of the Famine is to increase in demand and reduction in supply. In the year December 1942, Aman rice crop has probable to be poor and unsympathetic which was hit by a cyclone and tidal influence. This influence spanned the area of 450 square miles. Another region of the Famine is the continuous increase in the supply of rice from Bengal to the other regions of India. Bengal and Bihar suffered more looses because of the Famine in 1943. The crisis of food and starvation was the major cause of the Famine in 1943 (William and Dadabhai Naoroji 2014). Bengal Famine in 1943 has affected the entire world because the Famine took place at the time of World War II. Due to this Famine, the World War II has affected most. On that time as Bengal supplied some food ingredients to the other region, these regions have faced the economic problem because of the Famine in 1943. In that case, ingredients were not provided to the other region, people of the region have suffered the social issue also because of the Famine. Most of the people were homeless and starved because of the Famine. Nazi protest also took place at the time of the Famine, and it has also suffered from some damaged because of the Famine in 1943 (Grda Cormac 2015). References Digby, William, and Dadabhai Naoroji.
