✈ In 1859, thousands of ryots in Bengal rose up in revolt refusing to grow indigo. This was indigo cultivation had impoverished them. The British planters forced the ryots to sell the indigo to them at very low prices. Such low prices were not sufficient to provide the peasants a decent subsistence. The planters also prevented peasants from growing food grains for their own consumption. Due to such desperate conditions, the ryots refused to grow indigo any longer.

Trade in indigo was lucrative due to the demand for blue dye in Europe. European planters enjoyed a monopoly over indigo and they forced Indian farmers to grow indigo by signing fraudulent deals with them. The cultivators were forced to grow indigo in place of food crops. They were advanced loans for this purpose.

Causes leading to revolt

• Indigo planting in Bengal dated back to 1777 when Louis Bonnard, a Frenchman introduced it to the Indians. He was probably the first indigo planter of Bengal.
• He started cultivation at Taldanga and Goalpara near Chandannagar (Hooghly).
• 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.
• It was introduced in large parts of Burdwan, Bankura, Birbhum, North 24 Parganas, and Jessore (present Bangladesh).
• The indigo planters persuaded the peasants to plant indigo instead of food crops.
• They provided loans, called dadon, at a very high interest. Once a farmer took such loans he remained in debt for his whole life before passing it to his successors.

The revolt

• The revolt started from the villages of - Gobindapur and Chaugacha[2] in Krishnanagar, Nadia district, where Bishnucharan Biswas and Digambar Biswas first led the rebellion against the planters in Bengal ,1859.
• It spread rapidly in Murshidabad, Birbhum, Burdwan, Pabna, Khulna, and Narail. Some indigo planters were given a public trial and executed.
