    Thats for a search on amazon.com of the word "Holocaust".
    A search for "India Holocaust" Showing 1 - 12 of 295 Results.

    How can the British Empire from 1876 - 1878 murder at least 29 Million people by British Government state policy and so little information is available?
    I mean come on........Is there some crowd filtering what info we get or what?

    There was no Indian holocaust. "Holocaust" means "complete burning" ala concentration camps. "Genocide" is a concerted effort to eradicate a race or culture, which is closer to what you're after, but not the same thing as a/the holocaust, nor is it accurate. British laissez-faire policy, as atrocious as it was, was not a concerted effort. It was "letting things take their course" rather than "forcing death".

    Do you think that is because nobody refers to it a the "india holocaust?" When you seach "British Raj" you get almost 5000 results. There you will find all the uncensored history on the period you care to find.

    Yes. The Irish Famine, for example. wasn't genocide. Atrocious policy, but not a definite attempt to kill. Similarly the EU Common Agricultural Policy is resulting in thousands of deaths in Africa, but it's not genocide, just bad policy.
    Or 94% yearly mortality rate in the labour camps in india?

    Reference?
