Answer:
The two main systems of Indigo cultivation in Bengal were Nij and Ryoti. In the Nij system, the British planters produced indigo in lands that they directly controlled. In the Ryoti system, the planters signed a contract with a peasant (a ryot) under which the peasant was compelled to grow indigo.
