Deccan Famine of 1630-32

The great Deccan famine of 1630-1632 occurred in the Deccan region of Central India. By 1632, some 2,000,000 Indians died. The famine was the result of 3 consecutive staple crop failures, leading to intense hunger, disease, and displacement in the region. This remains one of the most devastating famines in the history of India.
