Answer 2

Explanation:

James Mill has divided the Indian history into three parts- Hindu, Muslim and British. According to him, before the arrival of British, Hindu and Muslim fought to rule over the country. Religious intolerance, caste taboos and superstitious practices dominated in social life. He also felt, that British rule could civilise Indian people.
