Talk:Famines in British ruled India: Their Causes and Consequences/@comment-95.83.243.180-20180803172314/@comment-71.10.200.159-20201001132254

The Irish Famine was genocidal not only in terms of widespread deaths but also in the accomplished goal of killing the gaelic languge.

Another similar genocidal famine was the Great Persian Famine of WW1, when half the Iranian population perished (10 million of a population of 20 million). A lot of rewiting history went on in that famine, an example being the reduction of Iran's pre-famine population of 20 million to about 11 million.
