To - 1l -- J.Ramsay M a c d o n a l d,Member of the Parliament, comes to the following conclusion in his book "The Awakening of Indian" z": ~ "In the investigation of the famines we must understand how they occur and what they are due. Even in the worst cases, there is now no shortage of cereals in the areas open to famine.For example, in the most bad times of famine in G'zerat in the year l9oo, official reports have shown that a supply of cereals sufficient to meet the needs of several years was in the hands of the cereal farmers in these areas. The problem for the Hun in recent years has been financial crises that have resulted in the reduction of the demand for labour,high food prices at the lowest wages and poverty - and people are dying of H'nger in the midst of abundance." Sir Walter S t r i c k l a n d, writer of *The Black Spot in the East",(The black spot in the east) exclaims in view of this state: U "May the Englanders in the motherland, who have these lines to face, think that if they hatch their poisonous tanmin infusions and their cheap Ceylon teas, sič.At the same time, they consume human flesh "and blood. It is not the Tče alone, but that of its power "and strength a's-genic blood of the slaves they drink.If there is a heavenly justice, every drop that touches their lips should transform itself into poison that digs the power of their race and degenerates it 'and faints.
