NCERT puts the famine deaths at millions, but they say it was due to "bad weather" and kulaks hoarding grain. My baba says our own land pooling in the seventies felt the same—when the yield was tied to targets, not the soil. So I think the figures are one thing, but the hunger comes from a file in an office deciding it knows your field better than you do. Every time the sugar price goes up, I remember that.
