in which two part is the medieval history of india divided
Medieval India One definition, used in the rest of this article, includes the period from the 8th century[2] to the 16th century, essentially the same period as the Middle Ages of Europe. It may be divided into two periods: The 'early medieval period' which lasted from the 6th to the 13th century and the 'late medieval period' which lasted from the 13th to the 16th century, ending with the start of the Mughal Empire in 1526. The Mughal era, from the 16th century to the 18th century, is often referred to as the early modern period,[3] but is sometimes also included in the 'late medieval' period.
Economy of India under the British Raj The economy of India under the British Raj describes the economy of India during the years of the British Raj, from 1858 to 1947. During this period, the Indian economy essentially remained stagnant, growing at the same rate (1.2%) as the population.[1] India also experienced deindustrialization during this period.[2] Compared to the Mughal era, India during the British colonial era had a lower per-capita income, a large decline in the secondary sector,[3] and lower levels of urbanization.[4] India's share of the world economy[5] and share of global industrial output declined significantly during British rule.[6]
