Answer:
The greatest example of the distress of the peasantry suffered under the British rule was that of the indigo cultivators. Forcible employment of the peasants to grow indigo and deprivation of the cultivators of their legitimate wages formed the background of the Indigo Rebellion of 1859.

Answer:
The peasantry bore the heavy burden of taxes to provide money for the trade of the Company, for the cost of administration and the wars of British expansion in India. Increase in the land revenue forced many peasants into indebtedness or selling their lands. The economic decline of the peasants affected cultivation and led to many famines.
