What to Focus On

  • Wide European demand for indigo came from the growth of machine-made cotton fabrics.
  • Planters forced peasants to grow indigo instead of food crops like paddy and wheat.
  • Peasants suffered from hunger, torture, unfair contracts, and legal injustice.
  • The Deccan Riots took place in 1875 in a Ryotwari Settlement area.
  • Cotton was the principal product of the region.
  • The fall in cotton prices in 1870 increased peasant distress.
  • The Koya rebellion was a separate tribal movement in Eastern Godavari.
  • It lasted during 1870-80.
  • It arose from the erosion of forest rights and exploitation by money-lenders.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
