The paper maps the crisis of famine that exacerbated the socio-economic conflicts and tensions in a society. It explores the outbreak of food riots, looting and even murders in a historical context. These were, of course, familiar and universal means of survival of famine victims. These activities are characterised by elites as “crime”. In fact, they were an expression of their sense of deprivation from subsistence rights. The paper is divided into two parts in which the first part briefly investigates the scholarships on the concept of ‘moral economy’ in the context of Orissa famine and the cases of food riots. Second part of the paper critically explores the historical sources of the food riots, moral dilemmas and the social composition of the food riots and it explains the food riots from the perspective of the concepts of crime, violence and morality.
