- Bengal Shadows, a hard-hitting documentary by two Paris-based filmmakers, Joy Banerjee and Partho Bhattacharya, brings to light the lesser-known stories of the Bengal Famine of 1943, which occurred during the Second World War and took the lives of 3-5 million people. This documentary also captures the voices of a cross-section of historians and survivors.

My father lived through this....he isn't around anymore, but he would tell me stories of their extreme hunger.
Can u tell some of them??
Very well made documentary and very special indeed. Thank for this video. Pranam to everyone who are seen in this video and to everyone who lost their lives and to the family members. 🙏
Ys❤️
Thanks for recommending this.
the fact that only 6 k people watched it
shows how succesflly hidden the scar is !!
yeah man. at the time I'm watching, it has a mere 10k views. I feel sharing these kind of stuff on ur social media handles would be a great way to start.
It's Been One Year Only 17k People Watched It!💔😮💨
Im from Kolkata living in perth. My heart reaches out to those peopke who suffered so much in the famine and partition.
This should be mentioned in detail in our school books
We all should know about this especially our next generation.
If bengal was united independent and sovereign it could have demanded a an explanation and apology by the British government.
Now when I see Churchill 😢 SAD. Seems like every colony of Britain was used an abused. I know United States not much better. But look at the countries that United States help after ww2 and look at the ones Britain help😮 the British ones severed to this day😢the American ones became world powers.
People should need to know what evil churchill did to Indian specially in Bengal famine.
Unmasking the evil of Churchill. It's indeed sad that none of the history books ever made even a passing mention of this horrendous disaster. I do hope children realize the actual insidious effect of colonialism rather than just the glowing facet of railways and postal services. Bravura Live History India!
Very well made documentary indeed. However I would like to add one thing. While it is true that the Bengal Famine was forgotten because the Allied powers won WW2 and Britain left India just a few years after the famine, it is also true that Indian government avoided raking up what happened in Bengal in the 40's, which saw a series of depopulation events like the famine, partition, population exchange, flight of capital and horrific riots. Bengal as a province was completely changed within the 40s decade. No major filmmaker, with the lone exception of Satyajit Ray (Asani Sanket in 1973), made a film on the subject of the Bengal famine. Similarly, Indian politicians washed their hands off the matter and didn't intervene (most were arrested and put in jail during the Quit India Movement, Subhash Bose was aboard in this period). Indian intellectuals (who were mostly based in urban cities) ignored the famine which affected mostly rural Bengal and the poorest of the poor. This is our failure as Indians to uphold the horrors of the Bengal Famine in the post-colonial literature and nation-building narrative. Bengal, which was once a powerhouse of the freedom movement, declined from national politics with partition and independence.

I am appalled by the way churchill is describing the Indian people "300 million primitive people whose well being is in our care" as if it was justifying 3 million deaths by a man made famine by exonerating the British Raj who were directly responsible.
Even after seven decades my husband would cry just talking about it. As a very young child his parents would cover his eyes when they had to walk on the streets. Profoundly tramatic.
Describes well the atrocities British especially Winston Churchill did to Indians during the colonialism. Why these people were not tried as war criminals?. They were as brutal as Hitler. Churchill was one of the worst war criminals. The world should know the actions of this criminal.
I fully agree. Britain's history books don't teach this in schools.
@@ashishbhagat6232 The British should agree that Winston Churchill was a war criminal with no respect for human rights.
Was not born at that time. But the stories by my ancestors still bring a chill down the spine
Please God never again 🙏Thank you this video 🙏
This is a hidden gem. Absolutely loved it.
Thank you for makikg meee the the rawness of the events I had onmy heard a little now and then from my mother as she was an infant in '43. Thank you for the tears that burned doen my eyes.
Bengal Famine 1943 was Darkest part in the History of West Bengal🙄🙄🙄
Churchill 😡😡😡😡
Dark history revealed, every Bengali must see this😢
This should be shown to every britisher.
Today I come to know a new chapter of history.. Thanks for this well researched documents..
anyone reading this - do leave a like or a comment. it reminds me of such imp stuff over others.
thank u!
now, back to my rant.
I haven't finished watching yet.
but, I hope many more people watch this documentary in future. the unfortunate part in india is - we don't value documentaries enough. a pathaan earning 500+ cr is fine but a All that Breathes or The Elephant Whisperers, even after getting nominated for oscars goes unnoticed by majority of people. It just shows how ignorant we are for truth. believe me, we all need it but we are living in such an illusioned world of ours, that there's no space for important stuff like these & many more.
I iften wonder the same, but life is still very tough for people and they mostly use their time and money to escape their reality, watching documentaries is a luxury few can afford in India. Its improving though
Very beautiful, thanks for sharing
Very heart touching.
Heart breaking history of Bengal😩
New Generation are enquiring with astonishing. And asking.
Nice
❤️

May god they rot in hell and face the same fate they brought on our people..
🇧🇩 really shameful thing happened
Tora onek shameful that Bangladesh chailu kintu seita Bengal er hissa chilo toder jonno eto Jon morlo!😠
Churchill and the Marwari businessman of Borobazar were responsible for Bengal famine
😓
What about the Gadar Party which launched Freedom Struggle from San Francisco, USA way back in 1911? The names of Mahendra Pratap Singh, Champak Karan Pillai and Professor Barkatulla Bhopali, the 3 Ministers of Govt in Exile must also be remembered side by side of Mangal Pandey & Rani Laxmibhai. 🙏🙏🌹🌹
By blocking comments one can not forgive people who did genoside of Bangladeshi innocent people and who purposely neglected the genoside.
Which Bangladesh You're Talking About Haa That Was a Part Of Bengal Those Dam People Broker Us Into 2 Peices People Suffered So Much If Today The Whole Bengal Suffered Then It Could Have Been The Most Succesful State of India With 2 Major Cities Kolkata & Dhaka!💔
Even for all his much touted bravado in WWII, Hitler reigned hell on England and also it was mostly Indians finding on behalf of Britain against Hitler . And ultimately WWII was won only through American intervention.
I wish Hell really did exist, because I know Churchill would be there now burning for eternity.
