Detailed Solution

The given statement is True.
In March 1859, thousands of ryots in Bengal refused to grow indigo. As the rebellion spread, ryots refused to pay planters' rent and attacked indigo factories armed with swords, spears, bows, and arrows. Women showed up to fight with pots, pans, and kitchen tools.
Planters' employees were socially boycotted, and gomasthas, the planters' agents who came to collect rent, were beaten up. Ryots promised they would no longer accept advances to sow indigo or be bullied by the planters' lathiyals (the planters' lathi-wielding strongmen). Thus, the indigo planters decided not to stay silent and raise their voices for their grievances.
