Explanation:

Ans 1]  Ryotwari Settlement

Ans 2] From the last decades of the eighteenth century, indigo cultivation in Bengal rapidly expanded. Only about 30% of indigo imported to Britain in 1788 was from India. This figure went up to 95% by 1810. Commercial agents and officials of the Company began investing in indigo production to increase their profit.

Ans 3] In the Nij or 'own' system, the planter produced indigo on lands that he directly controlled. In the Ryoti cultivation, the ryots cultivated indigo on their own lands as part of a contract with the planters. ... The ryots sowed indigo under a contract system.

Ans 4] Under the ryoti system, indigo cultivation was done by the ryots. But the planters bought indigo at low prices and hence the ryots were always in debt trap. “Blue Rebellion” Thousands of ryots in Bengal refused to grow indigo in March 1859.
