Why should we not accept the ‘Hindu-Muslim’ periodisation of Indian history?

answered-by-expert Expert Answer

The abrupt periodisation of Indian history into distinct ‘Hindu’ and ‘Muslim’ phases overlooks the historical existence of various other faiths that thrived in India during those periods. To characterise an age only through the religion of the rulers of the time is tantamount to suggest that the lives and practices of other do not have any bearing on history. Also, the rulers in India at various points in time did not share the same faith.
