How did the cultivation of indigo harm the Indian peasants during colonial period
The indigo cultivation harmed the peasants in many ways -
The peasants were compelled to grow indigo in their field.
They had no profits in this cultivation the planters gained all the profits.
The cycle of loans never ended.
After the cultivation of indigo the rice could not be cultivated as the indiga exhausted the soil which having its deep roots takes up maximum nutrients present in the soil.
