East India Company Part IV: The Bengal Famine of 1770

This is the fourth of six episodes in a series which details colonization and subjection of the Indian subcontinent by the British East India Company.  This show's focus is on the causes and effects of the 1770 Bengal Famine.  Throughout the episode, we'll talk about the general effects of famines by utilizing a number of historical instances of famines.  The effect on the locals, on the EIC stock prices, and the fate of Robert Clive will all be discussed.  

Famine is still a major cause of the death, if you are looking for an organization to donate to, I highly recommend checking out the following groups: World Food Programme, Mercy Corps, and/or World Central Kitchen
