Question

Indian Historiography : Various Ideological Frameworks.

Explain with the help of following points :

- Colonial Historiography

- Orientalist Historiography

- Nationalistic Historiography​

Answer 1

Answer:

The historiography of India refers to the studies, sources, critical methods and interpretations used by scholars to develop a history of India.

In recent decades there have been four main schools of historiography in how historians study India: Cambridge, Nationalist, Marxist, and subaltern. The once common "Orientalist" approach, with its image of a sensuous, inscrutable, and wholly spiritual India, has died out in serious scholarship.
