Universal history in the "Western tradition" is generally divided into 3 parts, viz. medieval,  ancient, & modern time.

Incase of India,  history was divinded into 3 phases -

• Ancient: The period was initially made up of Vedic society, and the "political organisation" revolved around the "Mahajanapadas" . In the time, several great Indian dynasties were in existence such as the Mauryans, Pallavas, Cholas, & Guptas.
• Medieval:  The Islamic dynasties had invaded during this period. The "Sultanates" & the "Mughals" dominated the period. During this period, there were great developments in art, architecture, & religion.
• Modern: This period focuses on India's fight for independence against the British and we consider India's formation as a "Democratic Republic" at the end of this phase.
