Question

What is the problem with the periodisation of Indian history that James mill offers?

Answer 1

james mill only wrote about the british rulers.
he did not write about the life of the peasants which is bad.
now coming to the question,,,,james mill divided the intian history into three periods-hindu(rule of the hindus)
muslim(rule of muslims)british(rule of british)
he stated that before the rule of british it was referred to as the period of darkness which according to us indians is not true

Answer 2

James Mill divided Indian history into three periods-Hindu, Muslim and British. This periodisation has its own problem. It is difficult to refer to any period of history as Hindu' or Muslim' because a variety of faiths existed simultaneously in these periods. It is also not justified to characterise an age through the religion of the rulers of the time. What it suggests is that the lives and practices of others do not really matter. It is worth-mentioning that even rulers in ancient India did not all share the same faith.
