The Indigo Revolt (aka Indigo Riots or Blue Mutiny) of 1859-60 in Bengal, India, involved indigo growers going on strike in protest at working conditions and pay. The subsequent violence was aimed at exploitative European plantation owners, but the cause was, during and after, taken up by anti-colonial Indian liberals as an example of the necessity for independence. https://www.worldhistory.org/Indigo_Revolt/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #IndigoRevolt #India #BritishRaj
