Explanation:
1.) Official records reveal what officials believed, what they were interested in, and what they sought to preserve for the future success of the country. Newspapers are not considered official records. They provide information to the public.
2.) The first comprehensive census was taken in 1881, after being conducted every ten years from 1872 under British Viceroy Lord Mayo. It has been carried out by the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India since 1949, under the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Government of India.
3.) & 4.) British control, according to James Mill, was the only way to civilise India. In addition, James Mill proposed that Britain seize all of India's provinces to ensure India's happiness and enlightenment, as India was incapable of progressing without British assistance.
5.) Multiple copies of these documents were printed as proceedings of each government agency by the middle of the nineteenth century, thanks to the spread of printing. During the colonial administration, surveying became a frequent activity.
Hence, the newspapers are not official records,
The census was held every ten years.
James Mill did say that India is not capable of progress without the help of the British.
He also said that the British should conquer India so that the Indian people could attain happiness and enlightenment.
Due to the spread of printing, by the middle of the nineteenth multiple copies of records were made.
