      Many or our "ruling class" were well educated and may have spoken with an accent slightly closer to English than we do today. I don't think those men had a hard time at all.

      Local Indian rice and grain merchants wouldn’t release their stocks at reasonable prices that would have eased the famine. It isn’t Churchill’s fault that the German, Italian and Japanese navies would have sank food convoys from already starving Britain.
