During the Second World War, at least three million Indian people, who were British subjects, died in the Bengal Famine. It was one of the largest losses of civilian life on the Allied side. But there is no memorial to them anywhere in the world - not even a plaque. Can three million people disappear from public memory? From the award-winning creator and presenter of Partition Voices and Three Pounds in My Pocket, this is the story of the 1943 Bengal Famine in British India - the forgotten story of World War Two. For the first time it is told by those who were there - farmers and fishermen, artists and writers, colonial British and everyday citizens.

This podcast explores the region's ancient kingdoms—from the Gauda and Pala empires to the Bengal Sultanate—and its pivotal role as a crossroads of trade, culture, and rebellion. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the rise and fall of dynasties like the Senas and the Mughal subahdars, the flourishing of Bengali literature under the Sultanate, and the catastrophic Bengal Famine of 1770. They delve into the Battle of Plassey (1757), the expansion of the British East India Company, and the emergence of Calcutta as a colonial capital. The show examines the 1905 Partition of Bengal, the Swadeshi movement, and the birth of revolutionary nationalism—from the Anushilan Samiti to Subhas Chandra Bose's Indian National Army. It also covers the 1943 famine, the 1947 partition, and the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, connecting these events to contemporary debates about identity, climate change, and economic development.
