The British East India Company, which was the ruling power in Bengal at the time, did little to help the people of Bengal during the famine. In fact, the company&#8217;s policies may have made the famine worse. For example, the company forced farmers to grow cash crops like indigo and opium, instead of food crops. This meant that there was less food available for the people of Bengal to eat.<\/p>\n<p>The Bengal Famine of 1770 was a devastating event that had a profound impact on the region. It is estimated that 10 million people died, which is about one-third of the population of Bengal at the time.
