Detailed Solution

The most affected group by the devastating famine of Bengal were agricultural labourers, fishermen, and transport workers.
A famine is a severe food shortage caused by various circumstances such as war, natural disasters, crop failure, population imbalance, widespread poverty, economic calamity, or government policy. Regional hunger, starvation, epidemics, and increased mortality are generally accompanied or followed by this occurrence. A good southwest summer monsoon is crucial in obtaining water for irrigating crops in India, which is strongly reliant on the climate. Droughts and policy failures have resulted in significant famines in India on several occasions. The Famine of Bengal occurred in 1943 and was India's most catastrophic famine. This famine claimed the lives of thirty lakh people in the Bengal province.
