Question

why is it incorrect to fix precise dates to processes that happen over a period of time??​

Answer 1

Dates are much important to all and are calculated based on a calendar-dependent equinox instead of the technique of the astronomical one. Hence, we see that there are differences between calculations done according to the Julian calendar and the modern Gregorian calendar.

It is also to be noted that the calendar we use, has 1st Century mentioned as the years 1-100 (as there were no year zero), and we see the 2nd Century between the years 101-200.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• In fact, fixing accurate dates on procedures that occur over a period of time is sometimes wrong.
• Indian people didn't start drinking tea a fine day, over time they created a taste for it. For a method like this, there can be no definite date.

• Similarly, we cannot set a single date on which British rule has been established, or the national movement has begun, or changes have taken place within the economy and society.  

• We can only refer to a period of time, an estimated period during which specific changes became noticeable.
