It must take a lot of extra work for two writers to do a piece together in order for the story to keep a good flow, which is one of the things that makes this book unique. This is a collaborative piece in which Levithan wrote Nick’s chapters and Cohn wrote Norah’s chapters, something seen only every once in a while in the book world. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a fun young adult novel written by both Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, two very well-known and renown young adult fiction writers. ![]()

This periodization has been attributed to James Mill whose work on Indian history remained the most authoritative colonial text on the subject throughout the nineteenth century and thus exercised enormous influence, and still continues to do so often in pernicious ways. The conquest of Bengal by the East India Company was regarded as marking the beginning of the British period. The Mughal empire began to disintegrate after the death of Aurangzeb (1707). This period was further subdivided into the era of the Delhi Sultanate (1206–1526), which was followed by the Mughal era.

Colonial historiography since the early nineteenth century divided pre-British Indian history into periods labelled in terms of religious identity: Hindu and Muslim. The conventional periodization of Indian history-ancient, medieval, modern-has until very recently made it possible to perpetuate the periodization scheme in colonial narratives about India’s past. ![]() ![]() ![]() (1) Marco Polo’s description of the Far East met with such scepticism in large part because it differed so widely from the accounts of travellers in the first half of the century.
