Answer :-

Correct Answer of your question is Option 2.

For that neelkars weren't required to have their own land.

-----------------------------------------

Reason :-

☞ Why cultivators don't want to grow Indigo?

• Fisrt reason was that the farmers don't have their own land therefore they don't get any profit from Indigo.
• Once Indigo cultivated then the soil became unable to grow any other crop.

• Those who signed the contract got cash advances from the planters at low rates of interest to produce indigo.
• But the loan committed the ryot to cultivating indigo on at least 25% of the area under his holding.
• The planter provided the seed and the drill, while cultivators prepared the soil, sowed the seed and looked after the crop.
• When the crop was delivered to the planter after the harvest, the ryots got another new loan.
• In this way, they were trapped in the cycle of loan from which it was difficult to come out.
• Soon, they realized that this was a harsh system. They did hard labour day and night and got a very low price for the indigo they produced.
• Other reason was that the planters usually pressurised the ryots to cultivate indigo on the best soils.
• But the ryots preferred to grow rice on these soils.
• Indigo had deep roots and it exhausted the soil rapidly.
• After an indigo harvest the land could not be used for rice cultivation.
