By Arthur Lukyn Williams

Book Overview

Famines in India: Their Causes and Possible Prevention is a book written by Arthur Lukyn Williams and originally published in 1876. The book discusses the causes of famines in India, including natural disasters such as droughts and floods, as well as human factors such as poor governance and economic policies. Williams argues that famines in India are largely preventable and suggests several measures that could be taken to prevent them, including better irrigation systems, improved transportation infrastructure, and more equitable economic policies. The book also includes a detailed account of the Great Famine of 1876-78, which was one of the worst famines in Indian history and led to the deaths of millions of people. Overall, Famines in India is a seminal work on the subject of famine in India and remains relevant today as India continues to face challenges related to food security and agricultural development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
