Nishtha Kapil · Accepted Answer

According to the long-term contract, the peasants were forced to
plant fifteen percent of their holdings with indigo and pay the
entire harvest as rent
Now, with the development of synthetic indigo in Germany, the
British landlords did not want indigo from these plantations Hence,
the shrewd landlords decided to release the peasants of Champaran
from the fifteen percent arrangement on the payment of a
compensation
Development of synthetic indigo would lead to an increase in the
price of natural indigo
