Historians divide Indian history into ancient, medieval and modem. But this division too has its problems. What are these problems?

Class: Class 8 Subject: Social Studies Topic: History

This periodisation has been borrowed from the West where the modem period was associated with the growth of all the forces of modernity such as science, reason, democracy, liberty and equality. Medieval was a term used to describe a society where these features of modem society did not exist.
It is difficult for us to accept this characterization of the modem period. Here, it is worth-mentioning that Indians did not have equality, freedom or liberty under the British rule. The country also lacked economic growth and progress in that period. It is therefore many historians refer to modem period as colonial period.
