Question

why did the British historian divide indian history based in region?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

This division was based on the idea that the religion of rulers was the only important historical change, and that there were no other significant developments—in the economy, society or culture. Few historians follow this periodisation today

Answer 2

Answer:

Historians divide the past into large segments—periods—that possess shared characteristics. In the middle of the nineteenth century British historians divided the history of India into three periods: "Hindu" "Muslim" and "British". ...On the other hand, the modern past is followed by the medieval past.
