Correct Answer

Explanation

The Indigo revolt (1859) directed against European planters who exploited the local peasants by forcing them to take advances and sign fraudulent contracts according to which the peasants were compelled to grow Indigo, rather than the more profitable rice. The outcome of the revolt was the British Government issued a notification that the Indian farmers cannot be compelled to grow indigo and that it would ensure that all disputes were settled by legal means. Din Bandhu Mitra wrote a play ‘Neel Darpan’ to portray the oppression of indigo farmers.
