Q. Consider the following statement regarding the Indigo revolt in India:
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
The correct option is C 3 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect: Nil Darpan or The Indigo Planting Mirror was a Bengali play written by Dinabandhu Mitra in 1858-’59. The drama was written in the context of social agitation in Bengal, known as the Indigo Revolt. The play examines the treatment of the Indian peasantry or ryots by the indigo planters.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The revolt was largely successful in freeing the tenants from the clutches of the planters. By 1860 the planters began to close their factories & leave the area.
Statement 3 is correct: Faced by high prices charged by the British traders for indigo dye, German chemists had already started their search for making synthetic indigo and Adolf Baeyer succeeded in synthesizing it in 1882. This was followed by research by other German chemists, namely Johannes Pfleger and Karl Heumann in the first decade of the 20th century. The synthetic dye was much cheaper and blew the final blow to the natural plant produced indigo dye and the indigo crop became a part of history.
