Q. 7. Write a note on the basic constituents of nationalist view of Indian history.

Ans. In response to the colonial denigration of India and its people, many Indians and even some Europeans took up an examination of colonial stereotypes as a challenge. They tried to prove the falsity of colonial narratives. They analysed the existing historical sources and hunted for fresh sources to prove these colonialists wrong. Most Indian historians started writing about ancient and medieval period as most of them were working under government and there was a fear that any critique of colonialism would affect their career. Secondly, they accepted the contemporary view that scientific history must not deal with the contemporary period. Nationalist historians displayed in their writings the Indian’s prowess in administration and statecraft, empire building, diplomacy, taxation structure, military organization, warfare and agrarian, industrial and commercial development.
