Episode 44: Indigo Revolt
With Om Puri as Nabakrisima Banergee., Virendra Saxena as Madhav, Tom Alter as Larmour, Achyut Potdar as Damga, Vijay Kashyap as Harish Mukheriee, Devendra Malhotra as Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar, Ranjana Gaur as Malati, Satish Kaushik as Ramgopal Ghosh, Irfan Khan as Michael Madhusudan Butt, and the script is by Gulan Kripalani.
Nehru observes that when the English first occupied India, there was a sufficiently developed base of industry and the chief business of the East India Company was to carry Indian manufactured goods like textiles and spices to Europe. With the industrial revolution taking place in England, the Indian market was to be opened to British manufacturers. This exclusion extended to other foreign markets as well and the flow of Indian goods was prevented within the country itself. Consequently Indian textile industry collapsed, affecting a vast number of weavers and artisans, followed by other industries like shipbuilding, metalwork, and crafts. Nehru further observes that with the rapidly increasing unemployment and poverty, the classic colonial economy built up.-India then became a predominantly agricultural country supplying raw material to Industrial England at a low price and in turn, providing a market for England’s finished goods.
The hapless peasants are stopped from cultivating rice and, instead, forced to switch over to indigo, a necessary raw material for the British industry, to be purchased at a low price. Refusal is met with stern admonition and even physical torture. The intellectual weapon to counter the evil is a compelling Bengali play Neel Darpan (The Indigo Mirror) by Deenabandhu Mitra. The first scene shows the oppression of a poor peasant by the British contractor, making indigo cultivation obligatory unless he is provided the services of a comely maiden. The second scene displays the common man’s perception of resistance through humour and banter, until the stick- wielding police close down the play already declared illegal.
The helpless peasants rue their fate of giving up rice-cultivation in favour of Indigo-farming and recall the meaningful efforts of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, the noted philanthropist and social reformer. The British officials use Indian spies to collect information on organised resistance. Educated Indians send mass-petitions to British India Association drawing Lord Canning’s attention. Meanwhile, the torture-machinery continues unabated to provide punitive punishment to the opposing leaders. The scared villagers maintain stoic silence, till they find the ringleader Madhav tortured to death, his corpse thrown into the river and his widow sneering in the face of the dumb society. They revolt by setting indigo godowns and houses of the scheming English contractors on fire and rampaging the British property.
Eventually, the Indigo Revolt has the desired impact - making the British stop forced indigo cultivation altogether. Vidyasagar’s efforts for widow remarriage, promotion of women’s education, abolition of Koolin polygamy and child-marriage are seen.
As Nehru notes, the 19th century saw in India two Englands living side by side: one of high intellectual attainment and political maturity and the other of savage penal codes and brutal behaviour.

Indigo was a fabric dye company. It made several colours and put patents on them these documents are still around today. The British would have records in history and so would the Indians. Non Indian Hindu Khumbars cannot ever represent any type of colour as they did not create over 16.7 million different colours through historical success. My old company The Indigo created the last colour made (Indigo) and distributed through fabric all around the world as the completion of the colours the all naturally living entity’s can see. The company before Indigo had several different names according to historical representation. The history dates back to over 75,000 years with proper tracing and evidence🤴🏽🕉🔺➕
