Who’s to blame for The Black Hole of Calcutta?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) discusses the infamous Black Hole of Calcutta and the controversy that followed. Set in Fort William owned by the British East India Company circa 1756, an atrocity occurred that would go on to shape history as we know it. Speculations about the event live on, but the fallout is undeniable. Was a lack of humanity to blame? Is poor communication the culprit? Or was this another symptom of rampant colonialism? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.&nbsp;Join our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/TheAlarmist" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon!</a>Tell us who you think is to blame at<a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheAlarmistPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> http://thealarmistpodcast.com</a>Email us at thealarmistpodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thealarmistpodcast/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @thealarmistpodcast</a>Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/alarmist">http://supporter.acast.com/alarmist</a>.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
