Explanation:

In March 1859 thousands of ryots in Bengal refused to grow indigo. As the rebellion spread, ryots refused to pay rents to the planters, and attacked indigo factories armed with swords and spears, bows and arrows. Women turned up to fight with pots, pans and kitchen implements. Those who worked for the planters were socially boycotted, and the gomasthas agents of planters who came to collect rent were beaten up. Ryots swore they would no longer take advances to sow indigo nor be bullied by the planters lathiyals the lathi-wielding strongmen maintained by the planters.
