Answer 2

James mill periodisation of Indian history

Explanation:

• In 1817, A history of British India was published in three volumes by James Mill, Scottish political philosopher & economist. He split the history of the Indians into three periods: Hindu, Muslim and British. Some scholars have concluded that it is not right, according to the religion of the rulers, to periodize Indian history.
• For example, Many religions flourished happily while the Hindu kings were in power in ancient India. The same happened in medieval India as well. The fact that people of different faiths had existed over that time and periodizing  medieval India as Muslim history was wrong.
• The periodisation based on the rulers 'religion suggests that other persons' lives, practices and culture do not matter Mill thought all Asian societies were less civilized than Europe. His story tells us that the Hindu and Muslim despots were the ruler of the country before the British came to India. Intolerance of religion, & social life was governed by caste tabooism and superstitious practices.
• James Mill thought that British rule could civilize India. In order to achieve so, European customs, languages, institutions and laws  needed to be adopted in India. In fact, James Mill recommended that the British seize all Indian territory to ensure that the Indian people were illuminated and happy. Without British help, India was unable to progress.
