Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Indian History has been divided into three parts by historians.
The first attempt at the periodization of History was made by James Mill in his work, the History of India. He divided Indian History into three periods- Hindu, Muslim, and British. He divided based on religion. However, this view was refuted by many historians. They also divided Indian History into three periods- Ancient, Mediaeval, and Modern. They presented the categorization based on the level of technological advancement. However, the usage of the term ‘Modern’ was argued as inappropriate by some historians as they believed that British India lacked the features of modern society. So, few historians use ‘Colonial’ for British India.
