During the colonial period, the British imposed indigo cultivation on Indian peasants, often forcing them to grow it instead of food crops. This shift led to food shortages and increased poverty, as farmers struggled to meet their own subsistence needs. Additionally, the oppressive system of contracts and low prices set by colonial authorities left many peasants in debt and trapped in a cycle of exploitation. Ultimately, the focus on indigo production undermined the agricultural stability and well-being of Indian communities.

The expansion of cotton cultivation in India, particularly during British colonial rule, significantly affected Indian relations with both local and foreign stakeholders. It transformed India's agricultural landscape, leading to the prioritization of cash crops over food production, which exacerbated rural poverty and hardship. This shift fostered tensions between Indian farmers and colonial authorities, as well as increased competition among local producers. Additionally, it altered trade dynamics, linking India more closely to global markets, particularly in Britain, which further complicated domestic economic relationships.

During the French and Indian War, colonial forces were engaged in protecting western settlements against Indian raids.
The role was the same for all peasants thru out time: provide the labor for the rulers (the rich) to make money. It happened to the English peasants, the Russian peasants, and the French peasants (in France)...and it happened in Vietnam (French Indochina). Peasants provide the labor force; the Colonial ruler provides the funding, organization, and the product.

The two systems of indigo cultivation were the "Zamindari" and "Ryotwari" systems. In the Zamindari system, landlords (zamindars) were responsible for collecting taxes from peasants, who would grow indigo among other crops. In the Ryotwari system, individual farmers (ryots) directly interacted with the government, cultivating indigo on their own land and paying taxes directly. Both systems significantly impacted agricultural practices and the economy in regions like India during the colonial era.
