This document discusses the importance and meaning of dates in history. It argues that while specific dates can be important for events like battles or rulers' lives, many historical processes happen over periods of time and cannot be precisely dated. The document also critiques previous ways that Indian history was periodized, such as referring to periods as "Hindu" or "Muslim" which ignored diversity and non-rulers. It suggests "colonial" may be a better term to describe the period of British rule in India, when the British established control over the economy, society, and brought changes in values through their domination.
This document discusses key concepts in historical inquiry, including how perspectives shape history, the importance of distinguishing between primary and secondary sources, and concepts like continuity and change, cause and effect, empathy, significance, and contestability. Historians recognize that perspectives change over time and are influenced by factors like age, gender, and beliefs. They also seek to identify developments over both the short and long term by examining continuity and change as well as causes and effects of historical events.
Historians have many sources available to study the last 250 years of Indian history under British colonial rule. Official administrative records produced detailed documentation of policies, plans, and decisions. Surveys systematically mapped and collected information on demographics, economies, landscapes, and societies. Newspapers and literature also provide perspectives, though are limited to literate populations. Together these sources give insight into the colonial period, but are biased toward colonial official views rather than capturing history for all of India's people.
This document discusses the importance and use of dates in history, how historians periodize Indian history, and the sources used to write about modern Indian history. It notes that while dates of kings and battles were once most important, historians now focus more on why events occurred. It also explains that James Mill initially divided Indian history into Hindu, Muslim, and British periods, but Indian historians typically use ancient, medieval, and modern divisions instead. Finally, it outlines that British administrative records are a key source for modern Indian history, but unofficial records like diaries and newspapers are also important to understand public perspectives.

The document provides an overview of history as a subject. It defines history as the study of past events and changes in society over time. The importance of history is discussed, noting that it allows people to understand the present and make better decisions by learning from the past. Two key concepts in history are explained: substantive or "first order" concepts that refer to the actual content, and procedural or "second order" concepts that allow for a deeper understanding of history. Examples of applying these concepts to analyze the French Revolution are provided, such as using unique concepts like King Louis XVI and organizational concepts like Napoleon Bonaparte.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement. Once hired, the document advises setting new goals and keeping skills and networking active in case of future opportunities.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

History8 1 how when and where
1. 1
How, When and Where1
How Important are Dates?
There was a time when historians were
fascinated with dates. There were heated
debates about the dates on which rulers
were crowned or battles were fought.
In the common-sense notion, history was
synonymous with dates. You may have
heard people say, “I find history boring
because it is all about memorising
dates.” Is such a conception true?
History is certainly about changes
that occur over time. It is about finding
out how things were in the past and
how things have changed. As soon as
we compare the past with the present
we refer to time, we talk of “before” and
“after”.
Living in the world we do not always
ask historical questions about what we
see around us. We take things for granted,
as if what we see has always been in the
world we inhabit. But most of us have our
moments of wonder, when we are curious, and we ask
questions that actually are historical. Watching
someone sip a cup of tea at a roadside tea stall you
may wonder – when did people begin to drink tea or
coffee? Looking out of the window of a train you may
ask yourself – when were railways built and how did
people travel long distances before the age of railways?
Reading the newspaper in the morning you may be
curious to know how people got to hear about things
before newspapers began to be printed.
Fig. 1 – Brahmans offering the
Shastras to Britannia, frontispiece
to the first map produced by
James Rennel, 1782
Rennel was asked by Robert
Clive to produce maps of
Hindustan. An enthusiastic
supporter of British conquest of
India, Rennel saw preparation
of maps as essential to the
process of domination. The
picture here tries to suggest that
Indians willingly gave over their
ancient texts to Britannia – the
symbol of British power – as if
asking her to become the
protector of Indian culture.
Activity
Look carefully at Fig.1 and write a paragraph explaining
how this image projects an imperial perception.
2. OUR PASTS – III2
All such historical questions refer us back to notions
of time. But time does not have to be always precisely
dated in terms of a particular year or a month.
Sometimes it is actually incorrect to fix precise dates
to processes that happen over a period of time. People
in India did not begin drinking tea one fine day; they
developed a taste for it over time. There can be no one
clear date for a process such as this. Similarly, we
cannot fix one single date on which British rule was
established, or the national movement started, or
changes took place within the economy and society. All
these things happened over a stretch of time. We can
only refer to a span of time, an approximate period over
which particular changes became visible.
Why, then, do we continue to associate history
with a string of dates? This association has a reason.
There was a time when history was an account of
battles and big events. It was about rulers and their
policies. Historians wrote about the year a king was
crowned, the year he married, the year he had a child,
the year he fought a particular war, the year he died,
and the year the next ruler succeeded to the throne.
For events such as these, specific dates can be
determined, and in histories such as these, debates
about dates continue to be important.
As you have seen in the history textbooks of the past
two years, historians now write about a host of other
issues, and other questions. They look at how people
earned their livelihood, what they produced and ate,
how cities developed and markets came up, how
kingdoms were formed and new ideas spread, and how
cultures and society changed.
Which dates?
By what criteria do we choose a set of dates as
important? The dates we select, the dates around which
we compose our story of the past, are not important on
their own. They become vital because we focus on a
particular set of events as important. If our focus of
study changes, if we begin to look at new issues, a new
set of dates will appear significant.
Consider an example. In the histories written by
British historians in India, the rule of each Governor-
General was important. These histories began with the
rule of the first Governor-General, Warren Hastings,
and ended with the last Viceroy, Lord Mountbatten. In
separate chapters we read about the deeds of others –

Hastings, Wellesley, Bentinck, Dalhousie, Canning,
Lawrence, Lytton, Ripon, Curzon, Harding, Irwin. It was
a seemingly never-ending succession of Governor-
Generals and Viceroys. All the dates in these history
books were linked to these personalities – to their
activities, policies, achievements. It was as if there was
nothing outside their lives that was important for us to
know. The chronology of their lives marked the different
chapters of the history of British India.
Can we not write about the history of this period in
a different way? How do we focus on the activities of
different groups and classes in Indian society within
the format of this history of Governor-Generals?
When we write history, or a story, we divide it into
chapters. Why do we do this? It is to give each chapter
some coherence. It is to tell a story in a way that makes
some sense and can be followed. In the process we focus
only on those events that help us to give shape to the
story we are telling. In the histories that revolve around
the life of British Governor-Generals, the activities of
Indians simply do not fit, they have no space. What,
then, do we do? Clearly, we need another format for
our history. This would mean that the old dates will no
longer have the significance they earlier had. A new
set of dates will become more important for us to know.
How do we periodise?
In 1817, James Mill, a Scottish economist and political
philosopher, published a massive three-volume work,
A History of British India. In this he divided Indian
history into three periods – Hindu, Muslim and British.
This periodisation came to be widely accepted. Can
you think of any problem with this way of looking at
Indian history?
Why do we try and divide history into different
periods? We do so in an attempt to capture the
characteristics of a time, its central features as they
appear to us. So the terms through which we periodise
– that is, demarcate the difference between periods –
become important. They reflect our ideas about the past.
They show how we see the significance of the change
from one period to the next.
Mill thought that all Asian societies were at a lower
level of civilisation than Europe. According to his telling
of history, before the British came to India, Hindu and
Muslim despots ruled the country. Religious intolerance,
caste taboos and superstitious practices dominated

social life. British rule, Mill felt, could civilise India. To do
this it was necessary to introduce European manners, arts,
institutions and laws in India. Mill, in fact, suggested that
the British should conquer all the territories in India to ensure
the enlightenment and happiness of the Indian people. For
India was not capable of progress without British help.
In this idea of history, British rule represented all the forces
of progress and civilisation. The period before British rule
was one of darkness. Can such a conception be accepted today?
In any case, can we refer to any period of history as “Hindu”
or “Muslim”? Did not a variety of faiths exist simultaneously
in these periods? Why should we characterise an age only
through the religion of the rulers of the time? To do so is to
suggest that the lives and practices of the others do not
really matter. We should also remember that even rulers in
ancient India did not all share the same faith.
Moving away from British classification, historians have
usually divided Indian history into ‘ancient’, ‘medieval’ and
‘modern’. This division too has its problems. It is a
periodisation that is borrowed from the West where the
modern period was associated with the growth of all the
forces of modernity – science, reason, democracy, liberty and
equality. Medieval was a term used to describe a society
where these features of modern society did not exist. Can we
uncritically accept this characterisation of the modern period
to describe the period of our study? As you will see in this
book, under British rule people did not have equality, freedom
or liberty. Nor was the period one of economic growth
and progress.
Many historians therefore refer to this period as ‘colonial’.
What is colonial?
In this book you will read about the way the British came to
conquer the country and establish their rule, subjugating
local nawabs and rajas. You will see how they established
control over the economy and society, collected revenue to
meet all their expenses, bought the goods they wanted at
low prices, produced crops they needed for export, and
you will understand the changes that came about as a
consequence. You will also come to know about the changes
British rule brought about in values and tastes, customs
and practices. When the subjugation of one country by another
leads to these kinds of political, economic, social and cultural
changes, we refer to the process as colonisation.
You will, however, find that all classes and groups did not
experience these changes in the same way. That is why the
book is called Our Pasts in the plural.

How do We Know?
What sources do historians use in writing about the
last 250 years of Indian history?
Administration produces records
One important source is the official records of the British
administration. The British believed that the act of
writing was important. Every instruction, plan, policy
decision, agreement, investigation had to be clearly
written up. Once this was done, things could be properly
studied and debated. This conviction produced an
administrative culture of memos, notings and reports.
The British also felt that all important documents
and letters needed to be carefully preserved. So they
set up record rooms attached to all administrative
institutions. The village tahsildar’s office, the
collectorate, the commissioner’s office, the provincial
secretariats, the lawcourts – all had their record rooms.
Specialised institutions like archives and museums were
also established to preserve important records.
Letters and memos that moved from one branch
of the administration to another in the early years
of the nineteenth century can still be read in the
archives. You can also study the notes and reports that
district officials prepared, or the instructions and
directives that were sent by officials at the top to
provincial administrators.
In the early years of the nineteenth century these
documents were carefully copied out and beautifully
written by calligraphists – that is, by those who
specialised in the art of beautiful writing. By the middle
of the nineteenth century, with the spread of printing,
multiple copies of these records were printed as
proceedings of each government department.

Surveys become important
The practice of surveying also became common under
the colonial administration. The British believed that
a country had to be properly known before it could be
effectively administered.
By the early nineteenth century detailed surveys
were being carried out to map the entire country.
In the villages, revenue surveys were conducted.
The effort was to know the topography, the soil
quality, the flora, the fauna, the local histories,
and the cropping pattern – all the facts seen as
necessary to know about to administer the region.
From the end of the nineteenth century, Census
operations were held every ten years. These prepared
detailed records of the number of people in all the
provinces of India, noting information on castes,
religions and occupation. There were many other surveys
– botanical surveys, zoological surveys, archaeological
surveys, anthropological surveys, forest surveys.
What official records do not tell
From this vast corpus of records we can get to know a
lot, but we must remember that these are official
records. They tell us what the officials thought, what

they were interested in, and what they wished to
preserve for posterity. These records do not always help
us understand what other people in the country felt,
and what lay behind their actions.
For that we need to look elsewhere. When we begin
to search for these other sources we find them in plenty,
though they are more difficult to get than official records.
We have diaries of people, accounts of pilgrims and
travellers, autobiographies of important personalities,
and popular booklets that were sold in the local bazaars.
As printing spread, newspapers were published and
issues were debated in public. Leaders and reformers
wrote to spread their ideas, poets and novelists wrote
to express their feelings.
All these sources, however, were produced by those
who were literate. From these we will not be able to
understand how history was experienced and lived by
the tribals and the peasants, the workers in the mines
or the poor on the streets. Getting to know their lives is
a more difficult task.
Yet this can be done, if we make a little bit of effort.
When you read this book you will see how this can
be done.

Images need to be carefully studied for they project the viewpoint
of those who create them. This image can be found in several
illustrated books produced by the British after the 1857 rebellion.
The caption at the bottom says: “Mutinous sepoys share the loot”.
In British representations the rebels appear as greedy, vicious and
brutal. You will read about the rebellion in Chapter 5.
“Not fit for human
consumption”
Newspapers provide
accounts of the movements
in different parts of the
country. Here is a report
of a police strike in 1946.
More than 2000
policemen in Delhi
refused to take their
food on Thursday
morning as a protest
against their low
salaries and the
bad quality of food
supplied to them
from the Police Lines
kitchen.
As the news spread
to the other police
stations, the men there
also refused to take
food … One of the
strikers said: “The
food supplied to us
from the Police Lines
kitchen is not fit for
human consumption.
Even cattle would
not eat the chappattis
and dal which we
have to eat.”
