Answers
Answer:
The ryots were reluctant to grow indigo in their land due to the following reasons:
1. Indigo had deep roots and it exhausted the soil rapidly. After an indigo harvest, the land could not be reused for rice cultivation.
2. The indigo cultivators got meagre price for the indigo they produced. Moreover, the planters mercilessly pursued the cultivators to plant indigo instead of food crops.
The indigo ryots were supported by the local zamindars and village headmen in their rebellion against the planters. The village headman fought pitched battles with the lathiyals. The zamindars urged the ryots to resist the planters.
After returning from South Africa, on the persuasion of a peasant from Bihar, Mahatma Gandhi visited Champaran to see the plight of the indigo cultivators there. Moved by the plight of the indigo cultivators, he started the Champaran movement in 1917 against the indigo planters.
