History of India is a vast concept, we are always curious about learning something, but in case of history we don’t like to remember years . keeping this aside we don’t know where to start the concept.when we study about history we commonly see these terms like BC or BCE and AD or CE. Indian education system highly influenced by Britishers the present history we are reading are taken from their references. the Britishers write the history taking Jesus Christ Birth as Base, so they divide the history into 2 parts. Before Christ B.C. and After Christ A.D. stands for Anno Domini, which is “Year of our Lord” in Latin. Whatever the reason BC is changed to BCE (Before Common Era) and AD is Changed to CE (Common Era).
