Answer 1

Blue dye was called indigo because it came from the roots of a plant called Indigofera tinctoria (in-de-GO-fer-uh tinc-TOH-ree-uh), meaning "dye from India." It ranged from dark blue to grayish purple-blue.blue from indigo extracted from the leaves of the neel plant (indigofera tinctoria);

Until synthetic dyes were introduced in the 1850s, and shellacs in the 20th century, all those commodities had to be imported. Thus President Jefferson's embargo on certain foreign trade in1807 resulted in a shortage of blue dye during the War of 1812, and U.S. soldiers were then dressed in gray instead of blue. The beaver hat went out of style beginning in the 1830s, when increased trade with the Orient made silk hats less expensive--and lighter in weight!--than beaver felt.

Indians were forced do NEEL KI KHETI.This crop is not good for ground.After two or four year the ground would become barren, thats why indian farmer were not ready for this crop.

Hope this might help.

Answer 2

Agricultural History of India is vast, covering many thousands of years. That part of it in which the British played a role came during a very difficult period already plagued with problems from changes within, and in the end left the country in tatters. Much of the history is great reading, both on the Internet as well as on the bookshelves.

The short of it is that huge taxes payable only in money were levied against the landowner/ farmer. This gave rise to a lot of money lenders and those who grew anything would find themselves broke and landless. So it wasn't that one could decide not to plant this, plant that and to h**l with them. The country was built up just enough to suit the vast stripping of resources, agricultural, textiles, and such. Then when all became too much to maintain and problems looked to be gathering momentum the "colonists" packed up and left the area to take care of themselves. There is really a whole lot more to it to be fair, but to answer your question, nothing could really be grown in revolt as the demand for tax was money only. The growing of foodstuffs for local economy would be close enough to that, avoiding tea and grain and any export items.

The British forced the farmers to grow BLUE cultivation inspite of food production.This is one of the causes of revolt.The tyranny,oppression of the British on the Indians compelled them to revolt against the Britishers.
