The causes are:-
Forceful cultivation of Indigo: Cultivation of Indigo was introduced by British in Bengal in the late 18th century which eventually spread to Bihar. Indigo was used in England for dyeing cloth and was of no use to the farmers in India. Peasants from Bengal were compelled to reserve a part of their land to grow indigo. No stone was left unturned in order to make money. The peasants were mercilessly forced to cultivate indigo.
Plight of farmers- Excessive labor and unfavorable returns : The planters of Indigo formed political association to establish their authority. This resulted in the emergence of a new factor in the agrarian economy which scoured the privileges of the Zamindars.
Impact of the Indigo event- Indigo Commission : When this reaction was seen almost in all places, the planters’ association in Calcutta compelled the government to enact a law which made breach of contract on the part of the peasants a criminal offense.
