NILGANJ
There is a place in West Bengal named NILGANJ,(http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=22.76109&lon=88.430688&z=18&l=0&m=a&v=2) which was one of the earliest establishment of English Indigo Merchants. It is 8 km away from Barasat, district headquarter of North 24 parganas.

The office of the Indigo Merchants were named as SHAHEB BAGAN (http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=22.759611&lon=88.427507&z=17&l=0&m=a&v=2). At present it is the office of the Central Institute of Jute and Allied Fibers - formerly known as Jute Agricultural Research Institute.

One of the building built in 1760 or so still exists and being used as Farm office at present.(http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=22.757261&lon=88.425415&z=18&l=0&m=a&v=2). Also one banyan tree is alive still now which was planted by the British people.

It is also the place for world's one of the first unorganised STRIKE ACTION. All the Indiago farmers stopped working in protest most probably in 1762.

If any one has more input with authentic data please update.

I know all these becase I was born in SHAHEB BAGAN in 1960 and stayed there till 1986.

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swapan42 (talk • contribs) 08:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Not a nonviolent resistance
It was not nonviolent. The farmers did not have firearms, but some groups gathered traditional weapons like spears, swords and bamboo staves and attacked the houses of local zamindars and british indigo merchants(refer to nil darpan, ichhamati, etc. There must be a lot documents from the British government in India). Also, there is a wealth of material on this revolt in Bengali. Someone just needs to go through them and expand the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srays (talk • contribs) 06:06, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

---Yeah, the article itself describes violence while simultaneously calling the revolt nonviolent. It needs a cleanup. nightpotato  — Preceding undated comment added 00:23, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

POV Dispute?
Can someone clarify the nature of the POV dispute here? This seems like a good little article, so I'd like to have it cleared up as soon as possible and remove the badge of shame. Bacchiad (talk) 20:22, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:25, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

The tone of the first paragraph is highly emotional and not at all neutral point of view. When using words like "cruel" and "brutal", you want to be clear about which third parties characterised it as such. AaronCarson (talk) 18:09, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I re-added the tag. I actually think the descriptions are probably accurate, but Wikipedia has no editorial voice & cannot take such stances. Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 13:42, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Shahid Rahimullah into Indigo revolt
Rahimullah's was one of the many indigo revolts that spanned across the length of Bengal - not a single source devotes significant coverage to this particular example, rendering it fit for a merge. TrangaBellam (talk) 06:27, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
