""A Tour Through The Famine Districts Of India"" is a book written by Francis Henry Shafton Merewether and published in 1898. The book provides a detailed account of the author's travels through the famine-stricken regions of India during the late 19th century. Merewether describes the devastating effects of the famine on the local population, including widespread starvation and disease. He also discusses the various relief efforts that were implemented by the British colonial government, as well as the challenges and controversies surrounding these efforts. Throughout the book, Merewether offers his own observations and opinions on the causes and consequences of the famine, as well as the broader political and economic context in which it occurred.
