consequences of indigo rebellion
Answers
Explanation:
The impact of the Indigo revolt was by the farmers against British planters who had forced them to grow indigo under terms that were greatly not favorable to the farmers. ... The planters, in retaliation to this increased the rents and evicted the farmers which led to more agitations.
Answer:
The main consequence of the revolt was the famine
Explanation:
The Britishers forced the farmers to grow indigo and cotton instead of the food crops. The indigo absorbs all the nutrients from the soil. It can make the most fertile soil i.e the alluvial soil. The British planters asked the farmers to grow indigo on 25% of their fertile land. This made the food less available.
This leaded the provincial Bengal (the present day Bangladesh and the eastern India) into a state of severe famine.
