The peasants were bound under a long term contract with the British planters. According to this contract,the peasants had to grow indigo on fifteen percent (15% ) of the land. All the produce had to be surrendered as rent. This system was very irksome to the peasants but they were helpless. But when synthetic indigo was developed by Germany, the landlord did not want to grow natural Indigo. Natural Indigo was no more profitable now. The prices had fallen

ANSWER :
The peasants were bound under a long term contract with the British planters. According to this contract,the peasants had to grow indigo on fifteen percent (15% ) of the land. All the produce had to be surrendered as rent. This system was very irksome to the peasants but they were helpless. But when synthetic indigo was developed by Germany, the landlord did not want to grow natural Indigo. Natural Indigo was no more profitable now. The prices had fallen. Now the landlords wanted compensation from the peasants for not growing Indigo on the land for releasing them from the Indigo raising agreement.
