Answer:
The Indigo Revolt was a peasant uprising which was started by the Indigo farmers against the British planters in Bengal in 1858.
The Indigo farmers had suffered a lot. They were forced to cultivated indigo and were paid meager prices by the planters. The interest on the loans was very high.
So the indigo farmers turned against the planters. The revolt was started in the village of Govbindapur in Nadia district and rapidly spread in other areas. The farmers burned indigo depots and killed publicly some planters and local zamindars. The Revolt was successful which compelled the British to appoint Indigo Commission in 1860.
