The '''Doab famine of 1860&ndash;1861''' was a famine in India that affected the Ganga-Yamuna [[Doab]] in the [[North-Western Provinces]], large parts of Rohilkhand and Awadh, the Delhi and Hissar divisions of the [[Punjab region|Punjab]], all in [[British India]], then under [[British Raj|Crown rule]], and the eastern regions of the [[princely state]]s of [[Rajputana]]. Up to 2 million people are thought to have perished in the famine.<ref>{{cite book |last1=David |first1=Fieldhouse |editor1-last=Marshall |editor1-first=P.J. |title=The Cambridge Illustrated History of the British Empire |date=1996 |publisher=Cambridge: Cambridge University Press |isbn=0521002540 |page=132 |chapter=For Richer, for Poorer?}}</ref><br />
