Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. In the Deccan Famine of 1630–1632 some 2 million Indians had died. The famine was the result of three consecutive staple crop failures, leading to intense hunger, disease, and displacement in the region.
This famine remains one of the most devastating famines in the history of India, and was the most serious famine to occur in the Mughal Empire.
