Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The history of India was divided into three periods: Hindu, Muslim and British, according to British historians. British historians made this kind of division of the history of India during the middle of the 19th century. This division was based mainly on the idea of religion which was rather distorting. Even during the medieval period, there were not only Muslim rulers but also Hindu rulers like the Rajput or Marathas. British historians' division of history based on religion gives no importance to the rich diversity of the subcontinent and less significance to the development in socio-economic spheres.
The correct statement would be that British historians only divided Indian history into two periods.
