Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The Indigo Revolt, also known as Blue Rebellion, started in March 1859. Bengal began cultivating indigo in 1777. Due to the monopoly that European planters possessed over indigo, they coerced Indian farmers into growing it by having them sign false contracts with them. Indigo was forced to be grown by farmers as a substitute for food crops. For this, loans were advanced to them. Due to the exorbitant interest rates, once the farmers took out loans, they were never able to pay them back. If the farmers were unable to pay the rent or refused to comply with the planters' demands, they were subjected to violent oppression. All these led to the outbreak of the rebellion.
The correct statement would be the Blue Rebellion started in 1859.
