Yet knowledge of the period is essential to understand and appreciate the nature of the historical changes that take place in time and space. Periodization of Indian history is a tricky and controversial concept. There is no unanimity among the historians about the periodization of Indian history. Celebrating India | Saddahaq Image Source: saddahaq.blob.core.windows.net/multimedia/99038380-indiaincre-voc3impd.jpg ADVERTISEMENTS: Broadly, there are two types of periodization in vogue, one on the religious and ethnic nature of rulers which divides it as Hindu, Muslim and the British periods and the other, borrowed from European historiography – Ancient, Medieval and Modern. Initially, the British historian, James Mill proposed the tripartite division of Indian history on religious and ethnic nature of rulers as Hindu, Muslim and British. Even this division is not precise as all the rulers in the Hindu period were not Hindus and we have a number of rulers who migrated to India from other countries and ruled side by side with the Hindu rulers and the Hindus were not culturally a homogenous entity either.
