Image description

Japanese propaganda leaflet, 1944 circa. This leaflet was air dropped into Assam, India, in 1944. It shows two contrasting scenes: one of Indians living under English rule, emaciated and starving to death; the other of Indians living under independence, enjoying an idyllic and plentiful family picnic. The scene of starvation probably refers to the Great Bengal Famine of 1943 that left around four million people dead. The text reads: ‘As slaves of the British - Hunger and death rule. After independence - Happiness and peace rule.’
