Ans. Historians divide the past into periods based on the economic and social factors which characterize them. In doing so, they are faced with two problems.
- First, economic and social changes keep taking place hence, definite boundaries cannot be drawn.
- Second, these periods are compared with modernity. Modernity gives a sense of progress. This implies that there was no progress before, which is not true.
