| Solution | Nil Darpan, penned by Dinabandhu Mitra between 1858 and 1859, stands as a significant Bengali-language play. This theatrical work played a pivotal role in the Indigo Revolt, popularly known as Nil Vidroha, which unfolded in Bengal during February to March 1859. The revolt saw farmers vehemently rejecting the cultivation of indigo in their fields as a form of protest against the oppressive labor conditions prevalent during the era of Company rule. | |
