Preferred term

Date: 1896-1902Indian Famine  

Definition(s)

  • The famines of 1896–97 and 1899–1900 in India affected almost the entire subcontinent, causing severe distress, debility, and mortality. Unlike the 1876–78 famine, which was largely localized, these famines were widespread and occurred due to an unprecedented shortage of food grains and escalating prices.
