Explanation:

In the middle of the 19th century British divided Indian history into three periods Hindu, Muslim and British. The division was based on a religious manner rather than on the importance of historical changes and development that each period possessed. Such divisions also ignore the rich diversity of the subcontinent. Few historians follow the same periodisation of India today while others look to economic and social factors to categorise the major elements of different development of the past. Further, the history is divided into the medieval and modern period with hunting and gathering society, towns and villages, empires and kingdoms and peasant society and imperial state formations. Modernity referred to the material progress and intellectual advancement in the society which mediaeval society lacked. Other important developments in India were the emergence of Hinduism and Islam and the arrival of European trading companies.

Thus the problems historians faced is that history is kept changing.
