Answer 2

Answer:

The planters found it difficult to expand the area under nij cultivation.Indigo could be cultivated only on fertile lands,and these were already densely populated.They attempted to lease in the land around the indigo factory and evict the peasants from the area.But this always led to conflicts and tension.

A large plantation required a vast number of hands to operate.And labour was needed precisely at a time when peasants were usually busy with their rice cultivation.
