That famine was cause due to bad potato harvest, brits employed them the Irish to build death roads which started from nowhere and went to nowhere literally as a employment scheme.Sar millions of Brown people starving to death is okay sar since they are Brown .
Now let see how many people died when the people where white.
Irish Famine (1740–1741) - Wikipedia
Death-300,000–480,000
Great Famine (Ireland) - Wikipedia
Death-1 million
1/3 of ireland population decimated
What did the British Gov’ do about it?
Sir Robert Peel prime the minister, at the start of the famine ,did try to implement some measures to help, but lost the vote in parliament, and had to resign, he was reappointed, and again had to resign, then came Lord John Russell, his government refused to stop the other food exports from Ireland, and then stopped the previous governments food and relief works, saying the market would provide the food required, Charles Trevelyan, who was in charge of the administration of government relief, limited the Government's food aid program because of a firm belief in laissez-faire, indeed there was very little real help, not before the famine had ripped through the entire country
Now Ireland was called as laboratory of policies brits were to implement in India.
These famines before had more sinister causes which I shall type further
