Question

Explain the Ryoti system of Indigo cultivation?

Answer 1

Under the "Ryoti " , the planters forced the ryots to sign an agreement ( satta ) or the village headman signed the agreement on behalf of the ryots. Those who signed the agreement , get loans at a low rate of interest, in return they had to cultivate Indigo on 25 percent of their land holdings.The planters insisted that indigo should be cultivated on the best soil, in which the peasants wanted to cultivate rice, Indigo plant has deep roots and exhausted the soil fertility very rapidly, after that indigo harvest , the land could not be sown with rice.

The system was oppressive and many broke out in open rebellion .
