Answers
Answer:
Hindus and Muslims joined hands against their oppressors in this rebellion. It also saw the coming together of many zamindars with the ryots or farmers. The revolt was a success despite its brutal quelling by the government. In response to the revolt, the government appointed the Indigo Commission in 1860.
1]With the Nawabs of Bengal under British power, indigo planting became more and more commercially profitable because of the demand for blue dye in Europe. ... The indigo planters persuaded the peasants to plant indigo instead of food crops. They provided loans, called dadon, at a very high interest
The peasants boldly refused the British orders and decided that they would not sow a single seed of the Indigo plant. They continued this non violent revolt by boycotting Indigo plantation. Many farmers were ruthlessly executed during the revolt which created a huge stir in the media.
