Quite extraordinary that there is no memorial for the loss of #ThreeMillion human beings. @shamtchK @rrunsworth
Please listen via link below 👇🏽👇🏽

[Kavita Puri @kavpuri]

At least three million people died in the Bengal famine in British India during WW2. There is no memorial or even a plaque to them anywhere in the world. #ThreeMillion tells their story through extraordinary eyewitness accounts. Listen NOW @bbcsounds

All the contradictions of Empire that are related so well in @Sathnam’s best selling Empireworld are present in the story of the Indian Military Hospital in WWI Brighton. On the one hand, it hosted Indian soldiers wounded while fighting for the Empire, manifested British sensitivity to Indian cultures and religions, and prompted Brightonians to extend a fascinated welcome to the exotic ‘warriors from the East’.
On the other hand it brought deep anxieties about cross- racial relationships and played a pivotal propaganda role in the maintenance of an Empire built fundamentally on White supremacy. @I_W_M

I remember this-watching it unfold on tv and realising the landscape had shifted-a turning point, a coming of age-and written by the wonderful Satinder Chohan. @BBCRadio4 #SouthallUprising

Recovery from the #MoroccoEarthquake will take years. These are hard times. But with 2,000+ already confirmed dead, @ActionAidUK is appealing for #donations to support the victims. A tiny contribution or just sharing this link would be so appreciated🤗❤️

This is unbelievable. @rrunsworth @PartitionGroup you know about this?

[Raj Unsworth #Equity #Antiracist #Humanitarian @rrunsworth]

@AlisonKriel @PartitionGroup Sorry missed this, was away. Was not aware. Cannot even find the words to express how furious I am. These were women like my mum who came to this country to help in it’s time of need. 😡🤬

[Kavita Puri @kavpuri]

The graphic photographs of emaciated people were shocking. Week after week he published more, and is often credited with bringing the Bengal Famine, where millions died, to the world's attention. /3

[Kavita Puri @kavpuri]

It was risky. Not everyone at the paper thought it was a good idea. But Stephens brushed aside the objections. In his memoir, he wrote that by August 1943, as editor, he felt he had to do something, he would have felt ashamed afterwards if not. /2

[Kavita Puri @kavpuri]

On this day 80 years ago, Ian Stephens, the editor of the British-owned Statesman newspaper, challenged the wartime censorship rules in British India, and published two distressing photographs showing the extent of the famine unfolding on the streets of Kolkata in 1943 /1
