Answer 2

Answer:

• Historians have usually divided Indian history into ‘ancient’, ‘medieval’ and ‘modern’.

• This division too has its problems.

→ Because this periodisation is borrowed from the West where the modern period was associated with the growth of all the forces of modernity – science, reason, democracy, liberty and equality.

→ Medieval was a term used to describe a society where these features of modern society did not exist.

→ No economic growth and progress took place.
