Write a note on "BLUE REBELLION". 60-70 words please

Answer»

In March 1859, thousands of ryots in BENGAL refused to grow indigo. This was known as the 'Blue rebellion'. The farmers refused to pay rent to the PLANTERS. They attacked the indigo factories with weapons and their womenfolk attacked with pots and pans.

The revolt STARTED from Nadia where Bishnucharan Biswas and Digambar Biswas first led the rebellion against the planters. It spread rapidly in Murshidabad, Birbhum, Burdwan, Pabna, Khulna, Narail, etc. Some indigo planters were given a public trial and executed. The indigo depots were burned down. Many planters fled to avoid being caught. The zamindars were also targets of the REBELLIOUS peasants.
