Detailed explanation-1: -Periodization is a form of historical understanding, designed as a historiological tool for making the past understandable, intelligible, and meaningful by dividing it into compartments. It was developed largely in the West in the early modern period under the dominance of Christian chronology.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most well-known periodization scheme is probably B.C. and A.D., which divides history into two periods based on the approximate birth of Jesus Christ.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1817, James Mill, a Scottish economist and political philosopher, published a massive three-volume work, A History of British India. In this he divided Indian history into three periods – Hindu, Muslim and British. This periodisation came to be widely accepted.
