Problems of periodization of Indian history that James mill offers

Answer 1

the periodization by james mill was full of drawbacks it stated india had three caste hindi muslims nd british ......it stated that hindus nd muslims had a continuous fight nd they were affected by caste taboos etc....nd it was then british which helped indians to grow up in economical social etc. status....it also had many othr problms

Answer 2

Answer :

James mill divided Indian history into Hinduism and Muslim and British periods.

This periodisation is based on the religious line that there was a face for which the Hindu were the rulers and other work ruled.

Then came the face of the Muslims and Britishers i.e. Christians. He had a colonial mind and thought asians to have poorly civilized. He felt Europeans to be superior.

So , infact, through this periodisation he tried to divide the people with their own specific identity which was not a correct.

During the Muslim and British they were were thousands of Hindu and Muslim princely states.

So , this is not a proper periodisation of Indian history.
