Eco India: Indigo's journey, from signifying colonial oppression to empowering Himalayan communities

Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow. Our top story this week looks at how the indigo crop is atoning for the excesses of the East India Company by bringing prosperity to its growers, dyers and the land where it is grown through a sustainable supply chain.

Owsm work. I am also a student of geography, and I am also want something to do for my uttarakhand.

[@syt5409]

Error: Peasant revolts against forecd indigo cultivation were initatied much before Gandhi, back in 1859-60 in Bengal. Nor does the indigo plant increase soil fertility, rather decreses it. That was the primary reason of Blue Rebellion.
