A video installation by Helen Cammock, a Turner Prize-winning artist, has been removed from the National Gallery in London amid criticism for mentioning Winston Churchill's role in the 1943 Bengal famine that killed about 3 million people. The artwork mentioned "wilful starvation of the Indian population by Winston Churchill". Churchill's grandson Sir Nicholas Soames objected to the artwork.
