Three million Indians died while food sailed West. http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2031992,00.html http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2031992...

Which policy, specifically? The only policy I know of was mobilizing the military to transport food and aid to the famine stricken regions during wartime. I suppose you're suggesting that more food and resources should have been diverted, regardless of the consequences elsewhere, and without concern for any other event unfolding at the time in the region. Genocidal? I don't think so.
