Question

What was the outcome of the blue rebellion

Answer 1

After the indigo revolt, the plantations shifted from Bengal to Bihar. There also, several revolts took place. In Champaran, the workers at the indigo plantation revolted in 1867-68. After a gap of five decades, in 1917, Mahatma Gandhi took up their cause and thus began the Champaran Movement against indigo planters. He was also responsible for the removal of some of the worst evils from the Indigo System in Bihar.

In the wake of the rebellion, by the ryots against the planters, the government set up an Indigo Commission which criticised the planters , it also declared that indigo production was not profitable for the peasants so they could refuse to produce indigo in their lands in the future.
