The Indigo revolt was a farmer campaign and consequent rebellion of indigo peasants against the indigo farmers which was started in Bengal in the year of 1859.
Indigo farming in Bengal recorded from the year of 1777 when it was introduced by French person Louis Bonnard, to the Indians. He was apparently the primary indigo cultivators of Bengal. He commenced the cultivation at Taldanga and Goalpara near Hooghly. Due to the domination of the British in the region of Bengal, indigo planting turned out to be more and more economically advantageous because of the desire for blue dye in Europe. It was opened in large sections of Birbhum, North 24 Parganas, Burdwan, Bankura, and Bangladesh. The indigo cultivators exhorted the farmers to farm indigo alternatively to the food crops.
