Explain. why ryots reluctant to grow Indigo?
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 10 months ago

The European planters forced the ryots to sign a contract to grow indigo on 25% of their land holdings. The farmers who signed the contract were paid money in advance to grow indigo. After the indigo plant was given to the planters after the harvests, farmers were given new loans for growing indigo. The peasants who received advanced loans from the planters realised that the prices they received for the indigo plant was too low and they were always involved in the cycle of debt. Indigo had to be grown on the fertile soil. However, it exhausted the fertility of the soil. The farmers always preferred to grow rice on the fertile soil as once indigo was cultivated, the fertility of the soil decreased. Thus the ryots were reluctant to grow indigo.
