  • The literary sources for the modern period are British documents, newspapers, letters, writings and speeches of freedom fighters, internet and database , library, old monuments, artefacts and the people who have struggled for freedom. These are the sources that provide information about the events and developments that took place in India during the colonial rule and the nationalist movement. They reflect the perspectives and experiences of different groups of people, such as the British officials, the Indian leaders, the common masses, etc. They also show the impact of British rule on various aspects of Indian society, culture, economy, and politics.

  • Time in history is the way of measuring and dividing the past into different periods based on some criteria or characteristics . Historians use time in history to organize and classify the past according to some common themes or features that distinguish one period from another. For example, historians divide Indian history into ancient, medieval, and modern periods based on factors such as political unity, cultural diversity, religious influence, etc. Time in history helps historians to compare and contrast different periods and regions and to understand the continuity and change in history.
