印度历史上的饥荒，死亡3000万
19世纪晚期，在英国殖民统治下，印度爆发了数次大饥荒，共死亡三千多万，史称Late Victorian Holocaustshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Victorian_Holocausts
主要原因是英国在饥荒最严重时从印度大量征收粮食
This book explores the impact of colonialism and the introduction of capitalism during the El Niño-Southern Oscillationrelated famines of 1876–1878, 1896–1897, and 1899–1902, in India, China, Brazil, Ethiopia, Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines and New Caledonia. It focuses on how colonialism and capitalism in British India and elsewhere increased rural poverty & hunger and how economic policies exacerbated famine. The book's main conclusion is that the deaths of 30–60 million people killed in famines all over the world during the later part of the 19th century were caused bylaissez faire and Malthusian economic ideology of the colonial governments.

1876-1878
The Great Famine of 1876–78 (also the Southern India famine of 1876–78 or the Madras famine of 1877) was afamine in India that began in 1876 and affected south and southwestern India (Madras, Mysore, Hyderabad, and Bombay) for a period of two years. In its second year famine also spread north to some regions of the Central Provinces and theUnited Provinces, and to a small area in the Punjab.[1] The famine ultimately covered an area of 257,000 square miles (670,000 km2) and caused distress to a population totaling 58,500,000.[1] The death toll from this famine is estimated between 5.5 million to 29 million.

1896-1897
The Indian famine of 1896–1897 was a famine that began in Bundelkhand, India, early in 1896 and spread to many parts of the country, including the United Provinces, the Central Provinces and Berar, Bihar, parts of the Bombay and Madraspresidencies, and the Hissar district of the Punjab; in addition, the princely states of Rajputana, Central India Agency, and Hyderabad were affected by the famine.[1] All in all, during the two years, the famine affected an area of 307,000 square miles (800,000 km2) and a population of 69.5 million.[1] Although large-scale relief was offered throughout the famine-stricken regions in accordance with the Provisional Famine Code of 1883, the mortality, both from starvation and accompanying epidemics, was very high: approximately 1 million people are thought to have died as a result of the famine.[1]
