Blue rebellion was a peasant uprising of indigo farmers against indigo plantation. it started in march 1859 in bengal. thousands of farmers in bengal refused to grow indigo and attacked the indigo industries and refused to pay rent to indigo planters as the planters promoted the 'in demand in britain' indigo in lieu of food crops and mistreated the farmers to increase their profits. planters ceased their properties, demanded high interests on loans which left farmers indebted for life. thus the blue rebellion started in bengal. it is called blue rebellion because indigo is used to make blue dye which was in demand in europe
