The Bengal Famine, particularly the experiences of people in the rural areas who suffered the most, is not well remembered today. There is no memorial, museum, or plaque to the victims or survivors anywhere in the world.
One man has made it his life\u2019s work to record their testimonies with paper and pen. Kavita hears from him, and tries to understand more about why the three million people who perished aren\u2019t better remembered or memorialised in India, Bangladesh and Britain.
