wikipedia could have Holodomor redirect to Soviet Famine but they don't.

Holodomor is different from the Holocaust due to no evidence of intentional extermination.

why call it man-made then? sure you can argue that man-made doesn't mean 'deliberate' but thats not how most people would interpret it. 'famine' is the clear neutral term.

where is mention of 'man-made' in Bengal Famine?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943

Bengal's economy had been predominantly agrarian, with between half and three-quarters of the rural poor subsisting in a "semi-starved condition". Stagnant agricultural productivity and a stable land base were unable to cope with a rapidly increasing population, resulting in both long-term decline in per capita availability of rice and growing numbers of the land-poor and landless labourers. A high proportion laboured beneath a chronic and spiralling cycle of debt that ended in debt bondage and the loss of their landholdings due to land grabbing.

where is the criticism is British policy?
