BENGALI HOLOCAUST
Introduction.
In the 1942-1945 Bengali Holocaust (Bengal Famine) the British deliberately starved 6-7 million Indians to death in Bengal and in the adjoining Indian states of Bihar, Assam and Orissa. Australia was complicit in this atrocity by withholding food from India from its huge wartime grain stores. This atrocity was associated large-scale military and civilian sexual exploitation of starving women and girls on a scale commensurate with the "comfort women" abuses of the Japanese military in WW2. “History is written by the victors” and several generations of English-speaking historians have largely deleted this appalling atrocity from history and general public perception (for a detailed critique of this holocaust-ignoring British literature see Chapters 14-16 of Gideon Polya (1998, 2008), “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History. Colonial rapacity, holocaust denial and the crisis in biological sustainability” (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2008 edition that is now available for free perusal on the web: http://janeaustenand.blogspot.com/ ). The BBC (which has an appalling record of censorship; see “Censorship by the BBC”: https://sites.google.com/site/censorshipbythebbc/ ) made a belated confession with a BBC radio program on the Bengal Famine as part of a series called “The things we forgot to remember” (myself, Professor Amartya Sen and other scholars participated; see “The Bengal Famine”, “Things we forget to remember”, BBC, : http://www.open.edu/openlearn/history-the-arts/history/social-economic-history/listen-the-bengal-famine ). You can do the experiment for yourself: go to your local community or university library and see if you can find any histories of Britain, England, Churchill or WW2 that actually make any mention of the WW2 Bengal Holocaust, the WW2 Bengal Famine or indeed of any Bengali or Indian famines (in the 1769-1770 Bengal Famine, British rapacity killed 10 million Bengalis). One notes that genocide ignoring and holocaust ignoring are far, far worse than repugnant holocaust denial and genocide denial because at least denial permits public discussion.

War is the penultimate in racism and genocide the ultimate in racism. It is very powerful to quote expert opinion. Thus eminent physicist Stephen Hawking on the key existential threats facing Humanity (2018): “We see great peril if governments and societies do not take action now to render nuclear weapons obsolete and to prevent further climate change” (Stephen Hawking, “Brief Answers to the Big Questions”, John Murray, 2018, Chapter 7). Most of the following websites alphabetically list expert opinions in 4 inter-connected key areas, namely “End war and genocide”, “Free Palestine”, “Reverse climate change”, and “Stop lying and censorship”. Everyone is invited to make use of this substantial resource and to feel free to disseminate this list to everyone they can.
