Abstract: The Famine of 1943 is one of the tragic events in twentieth century history of Bengal. During the World War II in 1943 approximately 2.5 million people died in that tragic incident. The Famine broke out in Bengal as a human curse. Countless Bengali poets and writers have been moved to create their works focusing on the disastrous event. Historical analysis abounds on why the Famine occurred and what were its consequences. However, the present study is an attempt to reconstruct the history of the Famine from literary sources such as drama, poetry, novels, short stories and contemporary writings.

Key Words: Famine, Literary material, Social condition.
