Because of its high value as a trading commodity, indigo was often referred to as blue gold.That is why British forced Indians to cultivate Indigo.
Peasants in Bengal revolted against unfair treatment by the East India Companytraders/planters in what became known as the Indigo revolt in 1859, during the British Rajof India. The play Nil Darpan by Dinabandhu Mitra is based on the slavery and forced cultivation of indigo.
The demand for indigo in the 19th century is indicated by the fact that in 1897, 7,000 km2 (2,700 sq mi) were dedicated to the cultivation of indigo-producing plants, mainly in India. By comparison, the country of Luxembourg is 2,586 km2 (998 sq mi).
