Abstract

The Bengal famine of 1943 has received significant attention from academia, politicians and the public. This is the result both of its considerable death toll and the range of factors held responsible, including politicians. However, despite the quantity of discussion and controversy that it has generated, three areas have thus far been insufficiently addressed: the results of the Bengal Food Drive, the geographic link between famine and the ‘denial policy’, and the economic Balkanisation of India. This article addresses these areas to draw a more rounded conclusion on the debate around the famine.

重新评估 1943 年孟加拉大饥荒

1943 年的孟加拉饥荒受到了学术界、政治家和公众的高度关注。这既是由于死亡人数众多，也是由于包括政治家在内的各种因素造成的。然而，尽管这场饥荒引发了大量的讨论和争议，但有三个方面迄今为止尚未得到充分讨论：孟加拉粮食运动的结果、饥荒与 "拒绝政策 "之间的地理联系以及印度的经济巴尔干化。本文对这些方面进行了探讨，以便为围绕饥荒的辩论得出更全面的结论。
