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.
