Victims of the Great Famine in India, 1876. The Great Famine of 1876–78, also known as the Southern India Famine of 1876–78 and the Madras Famines of 1877, resulted from the dearth of monsoons in 1876–78. The famine began in 1876 and affected south and south western India—Madras, Mysore, Hyderabad, and Bombay—for a period of two years. During its second year, the famine also spread north to some regions of the central provinces and the United Province, and to a small area in the Punjab to the northwest, covering a total area of 257,000 square miles.
