The article concerning Bengal Famines that you linked to begins with the following paragraph:
History is written by those who win a war and not by the losers. No wonder, the history of Second World War is written by British and American authors. We are told that the war was necessary to eliminate the evil of Nazism and Hitler from the earth. Nazism and Hitler are painted as devils because they killed six million Jews (a figure put out by British and Jew historians and disputed by many).

"Jew historians"? The author's anti-Semitism and thinly veiled Holocaust denial are palpable. Such a first paragraph renders the remainder of his piece deeply suspect. Are you certain that you're comfortable providing links to such stuff? Even if the author gets some things right, by wrapping his views up in garbage paper, he undercuts any claim he might make to be taken seriously.

I have read the entire article and haven't found anything that can even remotely be construed as "antisemitism". Merely stating the obvious that the figures are disputed by many (especially by western historian themselves) is hardly antisemitic. Perhaps you should read the entire article. The author isn't even making a point about the Jewish holocaust, he's training his guns on the British who have painted themselves heros over the war against Nazism when they have actually committed crimes similar to (or perhaps far greater then) what the Nazis have done.
