What is History?
History is the study of change over
time, and it covers all aspects of
human society. Political, social,
economic, scientific, technological,
medical, cultural, religious and
military developments are all part
of history.
Periodise
Periodise refers to dividing history/events
into different periods or time frame . We
may give example of how James Mill
divided Indian History into three distinct
periods or phases that is Hindu, Muslims
and the British period.
Periodisation helps us understand the
sequence in which various events occurred
and their effects. It captures the significant
features of a particular period and helps us
to differentiate it from other periods.
Periodization
Indian history was divided into three
periods: Hindu, Muslim and British,
by Scottish economist and political
philosopher James mill, in 1817. It has
been argued by many historians that
it is not correct to periodise Indian
history on the basis of religion of the
rulers.

do not always help us understand what other people in the country felt, and
what lay behind their actions.

area/region/country. The British gave much importance to the practice of
surveying because they believed that a country had to be properly known
