#IndigoRevolt captures stark differences between 19th c #Hindu #cultivators (#ryot) in #BritishIndia & #Jewish ones from same time in what is now known as #Israel

Under #BritishYoke, ryots in the #India #colony were FORCED to plant #indigo instead of food crops on their own lands

When groups of settlers BOUGHT #ME land to cultivate it for themselves because they were barred from that in lands they had fled due to persecution, eg #Romania, #colonies meant something else

“Where the mind is without fear” — see below — was written by #Tagore in 1910 when #India was still under the #BritishYoke.

It would apply to all of the people you mention above, as well as to the #US, which we have NOT yet freed entirely from #Trump.
