About This Book
The book constucts the food system of eastern India from the British times and delineates how, Eastern india has sufferd as a food system from those times because of the inception of the railways instead of a network of waterways. Then it goes on to analyse the destruction of the food system through the Bengal Famine of 1943. Then the food sysyem is sought to be built through Growth and Flutuations of Agricultural Production and a comparison with Punjab. Then the agrarian sysytem of Eastern India is built and an evaluation of Operation Barga given. The work finishes with a consideration of the eastern India food system as a dissipating energy system a la Ilya Progogine.
