 ation with journalist\, radio broadcaster\, and author\, Kavita Puri. To
 gether they will be discussing Kavita’s multi-award winning BBC podcast 
 Three Million\, which explores one of the darkest chapters in Britain’s 
 colonial history: the 1943 Bengal Famine\, where an estimated three mill
 ion Indians\, who were British subjects died.\n\nDavid and Kavita will d
 iscuss how the podcast was made - from the research in the archives to f
 inding interviewees who were alive at the time\; why it has taken so lon
 g for this history to be discussed both in Britain and in India\; and wh
 y the public debate around Empire in Britain is still so fraught.\n\nThe
  event will be introduced by Professor Anindita Ghosh from the History D
 epartment at the University of Manchester. For the last 25 years\, Anind
 ita has taught and researched the cultural and social history of colonia
 l India\, especially Bengal. She is widely published on the topics of ve
 rnacular print cultures\, urban history\, protest and violence. Her most
  recent research is on anti-colonial revolutionaries in India in the ear
 ly twentieth century\, their transnational connections and impact\, as e
 videnced in popular visual and oral cultures.
