Uncover the forgotten link between hunger and malaria’s deadly impact in Colonial South Asia. This insightful study revisits colonial Punjab, Sri Lanka, and Bengal, revealing how crucial understanding of hunger in malaria lethality was lost amidst evolving nutritional science and immunology. It traces this epistemic shift through influential international health bodies, reclaiming a broader perspective on historical epidemic mortality and demographic change across South Asia. Essential reading for scholars, researchers of public health, social medicine, epidemic history, and anyone interested in India’s colonial health past.
