The Guntur famine of 1832 (also known as Dokkala Karuvu, or Nandana Karuvu, Pedda Karuvu, Dhatu Karuvu, Valasa Karuvu, Musti karuvu or Dobba Karuvu) was a famine which occurred in Guntur, Madras Presidency from 1832 to 1833. It occurred following widespread crop failures in region which was exacerbated by heavily levels of taxation levied by local authorities..[1] The famine killed 150,000 people, a third of Guntur's population of 500,000 through starvation. It also led to the deaths of 74,000 bulls, 159,000 cattle and 300,000 sheep and goats. From 1833 to 1848, the East India Company reported a loss of revenue of over 2.5 million pound sterling due to the famine, which also extended southwards to Madras.[2]
