    I like the way 'his administration' is labelled as doing nothing during there Bengal famine of 1943.

    I am pretty sure that government was busy doing something at the time.

    One of the things we were busy doing was literally defending India from getting invaded by one of the most murderous regimes ever to have stalked the planet. Indeed, at Imphal and Kohima we turned them back from the gates of India.

    Bengal bore the brunt once the Japanese moved into Burma.

    Its tragic, its terrible, but there was a ****nig war on. Bit bloody harsh to castigate an entire political legacy over this.
