 Every single Bengali person I spoke to remembers that cry. And it is a haunting cry. And I think that that is known. If you remember or know anything about the Bengal famine beyond Bengal, it is that cry of Fandau. But it is a complicated memory because the people who are remembering it are also the people who were the observers to the famine. Their families were asked for the starch water of rice and may have given it or may not have given it.
