The play ‘Neel Darpan’ (The Indigo Mirror), published in 1860, was written by Dinabandhu Mitra. The play depicted the brutal exploitation of Bengali indigo farmers by European indigo planters under British rule, highlighting the oppression and injustice faced by the ryots (peasants).

Dinabandhu Mitra wrote the play ‘Neel Darpan’ in 1860, which exposed the atrocities of indigo planters and contributed to the Indigo Revolt.

Reverend James Long was a British missionary who famously translated ‘Neel Darpan’ into English, for which he faced prosecution by the colonial government. Michael Madhusudan Dutta was a prominent Bengali poet and playwright but not the author of ‘Neel Darpan’. Raja Ram Mohan Roy was an earlier social reformer and is not associated with this play.
