6. How do historians divide the past into periods? Do they face any problem?

Time is not just passing of hours, days or years for historians. Instead it is the reflection of social,

economic, cultural and religious changes that occur through the ages. Division of past into large

segments—periods—make it easy to study time for historians. British historians, in the middle of the

nineteenth century, divided time into three periods—Hindu, Muslim and British. This division was made on

the basis of the fact that no significant change other than the religion of the rulers could occur during

these periods. But as a matter of fact this division ignored the rich diversity of the subcontinent. Few

historians take this periodisation even today while most of them take the economic and social factors into

account in order to characterize the major elements of different moments of the past. The history of the

past thousand years has seen considerable changes. As a result the sixteenth century was not the same

as the eighteenth century or the eighth or eleventh centuries. Hence it is very difficult for the historians to

describe the entire period as one historical unit.

the same architectural form as a means to control the access that the nobles had to the river. In the new
