Colonial historians viewed India as a country that lacks the feeling of nationhood and self governance. They proposed that scriptures in India had no sense of time and chronology and people were only interested in spiritualism due to which the society needs someone to govern them. The Indian society has caste system due to which it lacks harmony. The modern Indian historians rectified this generalisation by putting forward the ancient Indian history which preaches about the governance of Ashoka’s kingdom and making clear that India is well versed in self government and do not require a despotic rule. The rationalist did felt that there was a need of reform which every society needs in terms of growth and development. Certain writers such as RD Bhandarkar criticised child marriage and were in support of widow remarriage as they were ideologies from the ancient india. The modern historians such as Rajendra Lal mitra marked that the class system in Europe was similar to caste system In India.

Answer of the given question 👇👇👇

The colonialist historians generalized Indians in the following category:
i. No nationhood, ii. Caste and discrimination, iii. Despatic rule and iv. Spiritualism and the next world thinking.

Let's discuss the counters of Nationalist historians through the following points:
i. Through the writting of RG Bhandarkar's Political history of Satavahanas he proved the that we have nationhood in ourselves.

ii. Rationalist approach of Some nationalist historians compare our caste system to the European's class system, which some how managed the criticism of colonialist historians.

iii. DR Bhandarkar's Work on Ashoka and Hemachandra Roy Chowdhury's Work on Mahabharata to Gupta Era showed the administrative power on Indians and the capabilities of Indians to govern themselves.

iv. The Lokayata believes of Ancient India proved the "this world thinking" of Indians and showed that Indians were not only tensed about the next world but also payed attention to this world.

Colonial historians are those who argued that Colonial rule was right in India. They argued that Indian do not have proper time chronology, they like Despotic rule, believes in Spiritualism and thinks about the next world i.e. after death world, Caste & discrimination and also argued that there is no nationalism as well as no self governance. Though which was then rectified by Modern Historians that they are not fully right as taking an illustration that self government or talking about political history under Ashoka's rule there was well established self government which was even told by D.R. Bhandarkar in his book named- "Political Institution of India". Similarly, many modern historians argued such as Rajendra Lal Mitra in his book talked about Indo Aryans, Vedic texts related to rationalistic approach.
