c. The Queen of England
EXPLANATION:
The Indigo Rebellion or revolt happened in Bengal during the period 1859-60 and was a rebellion/revolt by the farmers against the British planters who forced these peasants to grow indigo instead of food crops under terms which were highly unfavourable to the peasants. In this revolt both the Muslims and Hindus joined hands to fight their oppressors.This revolt/rebellion had a solid impact on the British Govt and an Indigo Commission was set-up.
The British Govt. in the UK responded to the reports got from the Indigo Commission in India with regard to the peasants’ revolt. After this, The Queen affirmed that the planting of indigo was not mandatory for the peasants.
