what is the problem with the periodisation of indian history that james mill offers?
Dear Student,
The problem with the periodisation of Indian history by James Mill was that he divided the Indian society in three stages:
1. Hindu
2. Muslim
3. British
However, this suggested that no other major changes took place in the history of India, other than the religious ones. Thus the
Indian scholars later classified Indian history into:
1. Ancient
2. Medieval
3. Modern
Hope your query is solved
Cheers!!
