Answer 1

Answer:

Causes for the indigo rebellion :

1) Forceful cultivation of Indigo: Peasants from Bengal were compelled to reserve a part of their land to grow indigo. No stone was left unturned in order to make money. The peasants were mercilessly forced to cultivate indigo. They were offered small payments to be adjusted against final payment at the time of delivery. Once the peasant accepted the offer, it was more like a trap. The peasants were cheated with the weight of the produce and the value of the produce was calculated at rates way below market price.

2) Plight of farmers- Excessive labor and unfavorable returns : The planters of Indigo formed political association to establish their authority. This resulted in the emergence of a new factor in the agrarian economy which scoured the privileges of the Zamindars. An intense confrontation grew between landlords and planters on one hand, and the planters and peasants on the other. There were a few planters who chose to have rotation of crops, alternating indigo with rice and other crops. Although once a peasant had grown rice on his land he was reluctant to change to indigo. Excessive labor and unfavorable returns from the indigo produce were the main reasons for the reluctance.

3) Impact of the Indigo event- Indigo Commission : When this reaction was seen almost in all places, the planters’ association in Calcutta compelled the government to enact a law which made breach of contract on the part of the peasants a criminal offense. The planters took complete advantage of this law and their oppression became severe in Nadia and Jessore districts of Bengal. The planters had the support of the district officials but the peasants were firm with their decision of not cultivating indigo.
