What was the impact of the Indigo Revolt?
Answers
Answer:
Impact of the Indigo event- Indigo Commission : When this reaction was seen almost in all places, the planters’ association in Calcutta compelled the government to enact a law which made breach of contract on the part of the peasants a criminal offense. The planters took complete advantage of this law and their oppression became severe in Nadia and Jessore districts of Bengal. The planters had the support of the district officials but the peasants were firm with their decision of not cultivating indigo.
The peasants had the backing of the Indian press in Calcutta as well as some lawyers. Thus the movement entered the political scenario and had a far reaching impact in the later movements of Bengal.
The Government thereby was forced to appoint a committee 'Indigo Commission' which was to look into the corrupt practices related with this system. Even after this, the oppression of landowners and the agitation of farmers against them continued. In 1866-68 Darbhanga and Champaran in Bihar also witnessed rising by Indigo farmers
