Answer:
Cause lead to revolt - Indigo planting in Bengal dated back to 1777. ... The peasants were compelled to plant Indigo rather than the food Crops. The peasants were provided loans called "dadon" for indigo planting which was at a very high interest rate. The loan made the people indebted and resulted in a rebellion.
The revolt was suppressed and many farmers were slaughtered by the government and some of the zamindars. The revolt was backed by the Bengali intelligentsia, Muslims and the missionaries. The whole of the rural population supported the revolt.
The indigo depots were burned down. Many planters fled to avoid being caught. The zamindars were also targets of the rebellious peasants. Later on , the British government formed the Indigo Commissionin 1860 due to Nawab Abdul Latif's initiative with the goal of putting an end to the repressions of indigo planters
