Solution

The correct option is A 1860
The Indigo Commission was established in 1860 as a response to the Indigo Revolt. Fearing a repeat of the events of 1857, the Raj wanted to take immediate action to assuage the peasants. The Commission's report confirmed that indigo cultivation was steeped in oppression, and declared that peasants could no longer be forced to cultivate indigo.
