I wish people here would do a second of research. This is from the Madras famine of 1877 in India. It has nothing to do with communism at all, Britain was running India at the time. There was a horrible drought and pretty much all crops were lost that year. The leaders in India tried to buy grain from Britain, but they didn't have enough to go around and no other countries were exporting at that level.
Fair enough. I took the picture from https://vintagenewsdaily.com/28-horrifying-photos-of-holodomor-the-ukrainian-famine-that-killed-millions/
This in turn was a repost of the following: https://allthatsinteresting.com/holodomor-ukrainian-famine#7
I dug deeper and you appear to be right. The first article added additional pictures and one of them was the picture I chose. That one appears to be from India during the Madras famine.
Thank you for the keen eye and all the best.
So, I went through six random photos, and five were not from Holodomor, the one that was was the farmers donating bread one.
Don't think for one second I'm defending any of that situation, I'm not, it was horrible, my great grandparents both died there during the time. My grandfather, who was 6'2 weighed 91lbs when he died.
But, let's be accurate and at least check something before we post it, it makes us look foolish when stuff that hits the top is so easily debunked.
