Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Bengal experienced a terrible famine that resulted in over 30 lakh deaths or forced migration. The farm labourers Sherman, the transport workers, and other temporary CSU workers were most affected by the rice's sudden price increase. They were the ones that died in this famine. A famine is marked by a high rate of starvation-related deaths, illnesses brought on by being forced to consume contaminated food or water, and a decline in physical stamina due to the weakening of the body from fasting. In response to the Bengal famine, rationing was first put into practice in India in the 1940s.
