What is indigo plantation? It is a species of plant from the bean family that was one of the original sources of indigo dye. It has been naturalized to tropical and temperate Asia, as well as parts of Africa, but its native habitat is unknown since it has been in cultivation worldwide for many centuries.
Origin of Indigo plantation in INDIA
Natural indigo has been coveted all over the world for centuries and has been in use for more than 4000 years. However, its connection with India is particularly strong—the term indigo comes from the Latin Indicum that means “Indian.”
Indigo plantations in India date back to 1777 when Louis Bonnard, a Frenchman, introduced it to Bengal in eastern India. He started cultivation at Taldanga in Bankura district and Goalpara in Hooghly district.
What was blue rebellion?
In Bengal in March 1859, with thousands of ryots started a rebellion against indigo cultivation known as the blue rebellion or the indigo revolt. The ryots armed with spears, bows and arrows and swords attacked the indigo factories and planters.The blue rebellion began just two years after the great revolt of 1857 and it worried the British. The rebellion prompted the government to bring in the military to safeguard the planters and to set up the indigo commission to investigate further into the situation. After the blue rebellion, indigo production in Bengal collapsed, and the indigo planters shifted base to Bihar.
