Published in 1900, 'Famines and Land Assessments in India' by Romesh Chunder Dutt examines the causes and consequences of famines in India under British colonial rule. Dutt argues that the British land assessments, designed to maximize revenue collection, were partly responsible for the frequent occurrence of famines and the resulting loss of life. This groundbreaking work remains an essential reference for anyone studying the history of colonialism in India.
