Q. Which newspaper fueled the first fire to Indigo revolt in India?
Answer:
The Hindu Patriot
Notes: The 'Hindu Patriot' under Harish Chandra Mukherjee and reports of journalists like Sisir Kumar Ghosh publicized and defended the cause of peasants while exposing the exploitation of Indigo planters. The outlook of the newspaper was to address the contemporary social problems. For example, in the opinion of the Hindoo patriot the Hindu Marriage law imposed disability on the part of the girls in exercising their right to marry on their own initiative. This Journal somehow specifically championed the cause of indigo cultivators.
