Answer 1

Hey Dear...

Here is Your Answer =)

__________________________________________________________

~>The problem with the periodization of Indian history by James Mill was that he divided the Indian society in three stages:
1. Hindu 
2. Muslim 
3. British 
~>However, this suggested that no other major changes took place in the history of India, other than the religious ones. Thus the Indian scholars later classified Indian history into: 
1. Ancient 
2. Medieval 
3. Modern

Answer 2

Answer :

James mill divided Indian history into Hinduism and Muslim and British periods.

This periodisation is based on the religious line that there was a face for which the Hindu were the rulers and other work ruled.

Then came the face of the Muslims and Britishers i.e. Christians. He had a colonial mind and thought asians to have poorly civilized. He felt Europeans to be superior.

So , infact, through this periodisation he tried to divide the people with their own specific identity which was not a correct.

During the Muslim and British they were were thousands of Hindu and Muslim princely states.

So , this is not a proper periodisation of Indian history.

Thank You!
