Why is the study of modern Indian history easier than study ancient Indian history
Answers
Answer:
There has also been considerable loss of history due to invasions . It is said that more than 10000 books were burnt with Nalanda Mahavidyalaya. ... This is the reason why study of modern indian history is easier than ancient history.
1) It is because of the abundance of source to construct history in case of modern history.
2) We have a clear picture of modern history which is not too old from our generation unlike ancient history which is thr restructuring of the old past .
3) Another reason is our knowledge of the language and scripts used at that timr is quite limited in comparision to our familiarity with the languages/scripts used in modern times.
4) Moreover,while reading a book concerned with ancient history gives us impression of being doubtful and unsure about the veracity of the statements but in case of modern India we have so many literary sources which can' t be doubted but interpreted .
That's why it seems easier for us to study the modern history in comparision to ancient history
