Yes there indeed were native collaborators,but in-spite of that the death toll is unrivaled by any other phase of Indian history,perhaps the world. Then why did famine induced death stop the moment Brits left India?Concentration camps, gas chambers, etc. (you get the idea)? I must say it's an inter-galactic comparison. The deaths during the British Empire mostly are not directly upon the order of the British colonial masters? You have your land lords, royalties, local masters to blame for that too...
