Question

‘To reconstruct the history of the modern period is easier than earlier times’. Explain the Statement.

Answer 1

Answer:

For the following reasons, it is easier to reconstruct the history of the modern period than earlier times:

1. For the modern period, we have official records maintained by the colonial government; that can help to reconstruct history. Whereas, there are very fewer sources regarding the ancient period.

2. The script of the modern period is known whereas, the script of ancient times is not fully understood yet.

3. The sources of the modern age can be easily found in the archives and libraries whereas, the sources of ancient times are scattered yet.
