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.

  • 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.
