Question

if you were given an opportunity to write the history of India on what basis will you divide the Indian history into different periods

Answer 1

Periodization is the process or study of categorizing the past into discrete, quantified named blocks of time, in order to facilitate the study and analysis of history. This results in descriptive abstractions that provide convenient terms for periods of time with relatively stable characteristics. However, determining the precise beginning and ending to any "period" is often arbitrary.
