(2points minimum)

Answer 1

Answer:

Criteria used to Periodise history

Explanation:

Periodization of history is a cognitive prerequisite for managing the past. The criteria used in periodize history is based on the period when major changes in society took place while undergoing significant transformations. In the case of India, James Mill divided India's history into Hindu India, Muslim India, and British India, which implies that the religion of the ruler determined the periodization. The major sources of a particular period originate from a particular language, i.e., Sanskrit for the earlier, Persian for the medieval, and English for the modern. At the beginning of the 8th Century, a large number of land grants were given to temples and priests, which impacted politics, society, and the economy.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• History is a record of chronologically written important occurrences.
• It is the topic from which we find out how things have been in the past and how things have changed in the past.  

• Based on some important occurrences during those days, we periodicize a moment to characterize it into distinct phases.
• In the past, the time demarcations into distinct phases are known as' Periodisation'.
• It becomes essential to history as they assist to rapidly reflect our thoughts on the events and change from one period to the next.
