Explanation:

All of the above

The Indigo Revolt (1859-60) was indeed largely a non-violent peasant movement, with the ryots (peasant farmers) resisting the oppressive indigo plantation system through non-violent means.

Hindu-Muslim unity played a significant role in the success of the Indigo Revolt. The unity among the peasants, irrespective of their religious differences, contributed to the strength of the movement.

The cultivation of indigo was indeed virtually wiped out from the districts of Bengal by the end of 1860, marking a significant impact of the Indigo Revolt.
