Answer 2

James Mill was born in 1773. He was a Scottish historian, economist, political theorist, and philosopher. His greatest literary work was the History of British India. He divided Indian history into three periods namely Hindu, Muslim and British. The following are the reasons for so doing:

1. According to Mill before the British came to India, Hindu and Muslim dictators ruled the country. 

2. There were religious intolerance, caste discrimination and superstitious practices in Indian society.

3. Mill felt only the British could bring enlightenment and happiness to the Indians by refining them.

4. He felt that European culture, arts, and law were necessary to uplift the downtrodden Indians.
