FAMINES IN THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT, 1500 to 1767

1579 (a): Kutch, maybe same as 1577
Documented causes: n/a?
Documented effects: n/a?

H.V. Balkundi, "Famines and Droughts in the Indian Subcontinent ..." (in Y.L. Nene (ed.) "Glimpses of the Agricultural Heritage of India", 2007)

p801, Table 1: "1579   Kutch area (Gujarat)   Failure of Monsoon rains." [As Balkundi does not mention the 1577 Kutch famine I have assumed that this refers to the same event- in which case this entry may have the correct year, but I am leaving the details under 1577 until I find further evidence.]
