Abstract: The historical dimensions of natural calamities form one of the important parts of the historical reconstruction of human past and these issues along with their regional variations are being increasingly recognized. In this context, the present article seeks to tell the story of the 1867 cyclone in the Midnapore district from a historical perspective. The discussion not only exposes the distress of the people during and after the cyclone but also draws to our attention the apathy and indifference of the colonial state towards its survivors.
