How do Indian historians describe the British period?
Answers
Explanation:
The East India Company, was an English and later British joint-stock company.[1] It was formed to trade in the Indian Ocean region, initially with Mughal India and the East Indies, and later with Qing China. The company ended up seizing control of large parts of the Indian subcontinent, colonised parts of Southeast Asia, and colonised Hong Kong after a war with Qing China. After the first war for Indian independence, the British Government took over the administration to establish the British Raj.
Answer:
The ancient - medieval - modern paradigm of Indian history has been borrowed from the West. In the west, the definining feature of the modern era is the development of all forces of modernity, i.e., science, reason, democracy, liberty and equality. Medieval is in fact a term that is used to describe a societal period that lacked all these features. Hence British historians often characterise the period of Britsih rule in India as modern. However, the nationalist school of Indian historiography claims that under British rule, Indians did not have equality, freedom or liberty. Therefore, Indian historians do not want to call British rule in India a modern period.
