@Jairo_I_Funez 1. The Bengal famine of 1943 caused 3.8 million deaths in the Bengal province. 2. Great Bengal famine of 1770 caused a 3 million as well. That’s the long term cost of British colonization & the British Raj on South Asian health besides losing ancestors to famine.

The Muslims of the sub-continent reacted against the European and British involvement. Sentiments were high for the Ottomans as the rulers of the holy places. When the call for volunteers was set at the MAO #Aligarh , Peshawari joined in & was sent to #Turkey fr #Bombay in 1912

Today was one of the last seminars on Zoom for this term for me. I covered Ireland, Scotland, Wales & England for the British Cultural Studies with about 80 students in different seminars. I am buzzing with student’s energy. Also, there is (no) 🐱 in the picture. #phdlife
