About
"Nil Darpan; or, The Indigo Planting Mirror, A Drama" by Dinabandhu Mitra is a Bengali-language play written in 1858–1859. Set during British Company rule in Bengal, the drama portrays the brutal conflict between European indigo planters and Indian farmers exploited under oppressive working conditions. Written to mobilize support for the Indigo Revolt, the play sparked controversy and legal action, with its English translator facing imprisonment for criminal libel. The work pioneered social realism in Bengali theatre and helped establish colloquial Bengali as a literary language. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
