Explanation:

The indigo strikes and disturbances flared up in 1860s. Factory after factory was attacked by hunderds of peasants. In many cases, the efforts of the police to intervene and arrest peasant leaders were met with an attack on policemen and police posts.
They refused to pay the enhanced rents.The ryots went on a rent strike.
Boycott of foreign goods was not applied.
Peasants gradually learnt to use the legal machinery to enforce their rights. They joined together and raised funds to fight court cases filed against them, and they initiated legal action on their own against the planters.
