Solution

James Mill thought that the periodisation of Indian history can be done in three parts- Hindu, Muslim and British history which is wrong because a variety of faiths, apart from Hinduism and Islam, existed in the periods categorised as Hindu and Muslim by Mill. It leads to making other existing faiths of India insignificant in region.
