Which Historian wrote the following words? “The definition and demarcation of 'ages' in the history of any country are problematic issues. These have been especially so in the case of India because our historians, all British to begin with, borrowed the highly unsuitable paradigm of Ancient/Medieval/Modern from the European experience, and further complicated the matter by inventing three other 'ages' – Hindu, Muslim and British.”
