Description

This Routledge publication examines the 1866 famine in Orissa through the intersecting lenses of gender, caste, and class, offering a critical analysis of how these social structures shaped experiences of crisis and survival. The work explores archival evidence and historical narratives to reveal how different communities endured and responded to one of India's most devastating famines, with particular attention to the gendered dimensions of poverty, mortality, and resilience. By situating the Orissa famine within broader social hierarchies, the book challenges conventional famine historiography and demonstrates how marginalised populations bore disproportionate burdens during this catastrophic period. Essential reading for scholars of Indian history, social history, and the long-term impacts of colonial governance on vulnerable populations.
