What is the problem with the periodisation of Indian history that James Mill offers?

Answer no. 2

James Mill divided Indian history into three parts i.e. Hindu, Muslim and Christian periods. Mill though that all Asian societies were at lower level of civilisation than Europe and India was not capable of progress without British help. Dividing the history in Hindu, Muslim and Christian shows that he characterise an age only through the religion of the ruler of that time, it suggest that the lives and practises of the other do not really mature which is not justified. 
In this book Mill suggested that the British should conquer all the territories in India to ensure the enlightenment and happiness of the Indian people but fact was under British rule people did not have freedom, equality or liberty. Nor the period one of economic growth and progress which contrast the the Mill's concept.

Question no. 3

Answer no. 3

They kept official record of what they thought was right, so that in future, those record can serve as true of all the decisions that they has taken.

Archive people report helps the historians to better understanding about the police, its function and it relation with the people who were policed.
