Answers
Answer:
1) First holder :- Warren Hastings
Final holder :- Lord Mountbatten (February 1947 – August 1947 as Viceroy of India)
2) C. Rajagopalachari
3) It is to give each chapter some coherence. It is to tell a story in a way that makes some sense and can be followed.
4) James Mill (born James Milne, 6 April 1773 – 23 June 1836) was a Scottish historian, economist, political theorist, and philosopher.
He also wrote the monumental work The History of British India.
5) If we divide it into periods than it will be easier for us to remember the events for different period of different kings. History is not small, It's so big that's why it's impossible the remember each and every event is every king, etc.
6) James Mill thought that all Asian societies were at a lower level of civilisation than Europe. According to him, before the British came to India, Hindu and Muslim despots ruled the country. Religious intolerance, caste taboos and superstitious practices dominated the social life of the Indians.05-May-2018

8) In any case it was not proper to refer to any period of history as 'Hindu' or 'Muslim'. It was also improper to characterise an age only through the religion of the rulers of the time. Hence, Mill's periodisation of Indian history was not up to the mark.
9) Many "historians" refer to "modern period" as "colonial" because during this time colonies were being established in different parts of the world. This period is referred to as modern since in the west several major contributions in science, technology, art etc occurred during this time.
10) Coherence describes the way anything, such as an argument (or part of an argument) “hangs together.” If something has coherence, its parts are well-connected and all heading in the same direction.
