Fair use rationale for Bengal famine of 1943
editThough this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
- It is a historically significant photo of the event and one of the defining images of the Bengal famine of 1943.
- There exist multiple, non-trivial mentions of the photo series in notable, mainstream sources: "Chittaprosad published...his sketches from his tour in Midnapur in a book entitled Hungry Bengal shortly after his return from the district. The book was quickly banned by the Government of India and 5,000 copies were confiscated and destroyed." Sourced to the following:
- Mukherjee, Janam (2015). Hungry Bengal: War, Famine and the End of Empire. Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-0-19-061306-8. Page 139.
- Dhillon, Pradeep A. (2014). "Examples of Moral Perfectionism from a Global Perspective". The Journal of Aesthetic Education. 48 (3): 41–57. Page 54.

- It is of much lower resolution than the original, and copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
- The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
- Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article, because the photo and its historical significance are the object of discussion in the article.
