He examines the policies and measures put in place to provide relief to the affected population, including the distribution of food and the establishment of relief camps. He also critiques the government's response, pointing out areas where they fell short and suggesting improvements that could have been made.Overall, The Famine Campaign in Southern India V1: Madras and Bombay Presidencies and Province of Mysore, 1876-1878 (1878) is a comprehensive and detailed account of the famine that devastated southern India in the late 19th century.
