    It wasn't actually a ship carrying the grain, it was Stalin's personal spoon

    It looks like this might be the original source.

      Good find. For those who don't know Hindi, the article is the small boxed blurb on Page 9. It pretty much says what the English translation says. Otoh, I cannot find any other source for these claims, nor does the actual article provide any more information. So, this is probably not true.

    This post occasionally makes the round in leftist and (some non-BJP) Indian circles. But it's probably not true. I haven't found any more information about this incident, nor seen any other source confirming it. The actual article in Hindi is linked in a comment elsewhere in this thread. But it doesn't provide any more information either.

    Why couldn't he learn from the British and give them the gift of a famine that will teach them about consequences so they might one day govern themselves?
