Food Security in India -- a burning contemporary question from a historical perspective

• In Bengal, war time scarcity led to food riots, boycotts and eventually state regulation in the form of food rations. Debates about poverty, scarcity, malnutrition, child health among other examples, equated the paradigms of ‘stolen affluence’ with empire building and individual wealth in society. The goal of collective protest was to force the wealthy to take social responsibility for protecting the rights of the destitute, the urban poor and victims of famine. Food consumption practices were seen as a means for civic action with the explicit aim of forging a post-colonial identity of a conscientious consumer citizen. The ethics of consumerism, dissociated from mass consumption, are promoted as a set of social practices that are inclined towards social services and relates to how citizenship and social respectability are defined through possessions and/or dispossession.
