why did zaminder support the blue rebellion
Answers
Answer:
In March 1859, thousands of royts in Bengal refused to grow indigo this was known as "BLUE REBELLION".The farmers refused to pay rent to the planters. They attacked the indigo factories with weapons and their womenfolk accacked with pots and pans
Explanation:
The Zamindars supported the blue rebellion as they were unhappy with the increasing power of the planters. Also they forced all the zamindars to pay huge amount of revenue and take interest in improving land. Moreover they also were unhappy as they were forced to give them land on long leases. Furthermore if they failed to pay the amount they lost their zamindari. They also understood that the ryots were forced to plant indigo and could not cultivate what they wanted to , which made the zamindars get angry over the planters. This is why they supported the blue rebellion.
