“Archibald Wavell, 1st Earl Wavell, in his diary entry for 4 July 1944 (published in Wavell: the Viceroy's Journal, ed. Penderel Moon, 1973). Wavell was the Viceroy of India from 1943 to 1947, when the Japanese invasion of Burma, combined with colonial mismanagement, had caused a famine in Bengal. Often misquoted as "If food is so scarce, why hasn't Gandhi died yet?”
