Answer:
- Indigo cultivation means a large farm of Indigo operated by the Indian farmers.
- Indigo planting started in Bengal as early as 1777. There were two main systems of indigo cultivation – nij and ryoti.
- Within the system of nij cultivation, the planter produced indigo in lands that he directly controlled.
- He either bought the land or rented it from other zamindars and produced indigo by directly employing hired labourers.
- It was first planted by one British Louis Bonard.
- When the British Power expanded, the indigo planting was emphasized because of a high demand of the Blue Dye in Europe.
- The peasants were compelled to plant Indigo rather than the food Crops.
