    How, When and Where

    Q1. Who are calligraphists? How were they important in the early nineteenth
    century?
    Ans. Calligraphists are those who are specialized in the art of beautiful

    handwriting. In the early years of the nineteenth century documents

    were carefully copied out and beautifully written by calligraphists.

    Q2. What sources do historians use in writing about the last 250 years of
    Indian history?
    Ans. One important source is the official records of the British administration.

    Other sources include diaries of people, accounts of pilgrims and

    travellers, autobiographies of important personalities, and popular

    booklets that were sold in the local bazaars.

    Q3. What do official records not tell? How do we come to know about them?
    Ans. Official records do not always help us understand what other people in

    the country felt, and what lay behind their actions. For that we have

    diaries of people, accounts of pilgrims and travellers, autobiographies of

    important personalities, and popular booklets that were sold in the local

    bazaars.

    Q4. Why did the British preserve official documents?


    Ans. 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.
