The uprising began in Nadia where the rebellion against the planters started with Bishnucharan Biswas and Digambar Biswas. It had quickly spread to Murshidabad, Birbhum, Burdwan, Pabna, Khulna, Narail, and so on. Some planters of the indigo were publicly tested and carried out. The depots of indigo have been burnished. Most planters have survived to be rescued. The zamindars were targeted at the rebellious farmers as well. The uprising was brutalized. A number of peasants were mercilessly slaughtered by massive police and military forces, assisted by the British Government and the zamindar. Nevertheless, the uprising, involving nearly all of Bengal, was fairly popular. Even some Zamindars backed up the revolt.
