The impact of the Indigo revolt was by the farmers against British planters who had forced them to grow indigo under terms that were greatly not favorable to the farmers. The farmers refused to grow indigo and they attacked the policemen who intervened. The planters, in retaliation to this increased the rents and evicted the farmers which led to more agitations.
Explanation:
- Louis Bonnard was a Frenchman who introduced Indigo plantation to the Indians in Bengal. It was introduced in large parts of Burdwan, Bankura, Birbhum, North 24 Parganas, and and other parts of Bengal.
- The indigo planters persuaded the peasants to plant indigo instead of food crops. The farmers were provided loans called dadon, at a very high interest. Once a farmer took such loans he remained in debt for his whole life before passing it to his successors.
- The farmers could make no profit growing indigo and they were totally unprotected from the indigo planters who started to mortgage or destroy the farmer's property if they were unwilling to obey them.
