Answer 2

The agents of indigo planters were known as Gomasthas.  

Explanation:  

• Gomasthas were dedicated individuals who were given the task of overseeing that there is no peasant rivalry growing amongst the villages.
• As indigo planters forced villages to sign the contract of indigo, the headmen of the village were against these planters and were angry.
• They tried to raise and mobilize the peasants to fight against these planters and boycott their fields.
• It was the task of the gomasthas to be aware of these possible uprisings and curb it when they actually arise.
