I think you have a bit of an axe to grind. The British were pursuing a fabian strategy which led to intentional destruction of food and food-producing industries. That alone would make it basically impossible to deny that this famine is the result of British policy. Presumably, since you are defending the actions of the British, you don't actually have any skin in the game - you're not like, a Bengali, who's grandparents starved as children. So I'm curious - why are you so strident? It's obviously not 'absurd' or 'offensive', from a cursory glance at the facts, to conclude that this is an anthropogenic famine. If you want to argue against the preponderance of obvious facts, you have to do a bit more work, and start with the recognition that you're departing from the normal and prima facie understanding of what has occurred. You can't just try and browbeat people into counterintuitive conclusions with a mass of forceful and cherrypicked assertions.
