Explore the forgotten history of famines in British Malabar, encompassing Kerala’s northern and central regions from the 18th to the mid-20th century. “State Failure and Human Miseries” offers a unique, macro-historical perspective on hunger and destitution, integrating previously untapped primary data from regional and national archives. This comprehensive study, the first of its kind to analyze the causal mechanisms of famine and the state’s responsibility for prevention and mitigation, provides crucial insights into societal vulnerabilities and governance. Ideal for postgraduate students, economic history enthusiasts, and researchers seeking to understand the devastating impact of state failure on human lives. A vital addition to The Bookish Owl’s collection on Indian history and socio-economic studies.
