Fair use rationale for Bengal famine of 1943[edit]

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is a historically significant photo of the event and one of the defining images of the Bengal famine of 1943.
2. There exist multiple, non-trivial mentions of the photo series in notable, mainstream sources: "Chittaprosad published...his sketches from his tour in Midnapur in a book entitled Hungry Bengal shortly after his return from the district. The book was quickly banned by the Government of India and 5,000 copies were confiscated and destroyed." Sourced to the following:
