Question

Explain the peridization of history according to James Mill

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

Answer:

The main points considered by James Mill for the division of Indian history.

Explanation:

His most important literary work was the 'History of British India.' It was largely as a result of his review of this book, of Indian society, and of the problems faced by the British administration that, in 1819, he gained an important position with the East India Company, which he held for seventeen years.

James Mill divided the history of India into three periods: Hindu, Muslim and British. According to Mill, the Hindu and Muslim dictators ruled the country before the British came to India.
