Summary

Description
English: Jackals and vultures eating corpses during the Bengal famine of 1943-44. From the preface: "Out of 300 photos that were at our disposal we have selected only 50 that were somewhat presentable to the public eyes. To make them look less gruesome, we have got them decorated with relief drawings in pleasant light colours."
