    Similarity of triangles is based on the principle that when two triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size, they are considered similar. This occurs if and only if their corresponding angles are equal. When the angles are equal, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are also equal (this is known as the Angle-Angle or AA criterion for similarity).

    The other options are incorrect because:
    – “Their corresponding sides are equal” describes congruence, not similarity.
    – “Their perimeters are equal” does not guarantee similarity, as triangles with the same perimeter can have different shapes.
    – “Their areas are equal” also does not ensure similarity, as triangles with the same area can have different shapes and dimensions.

    Thus, the correct answer is “Their corresponding angles are equal.”

    Problems with James Mill’s Periodisation:
    1. Eurocentric Bias: Mill’s categorization reflects a Eurocentric viewpoint, emphasizing British colonial rule as the starting point of Indian “civilization.”

    2. Oversimplification: Dividing history into Hindu, Muslim, and British periods oversimplifies India’s complex socio-cultural evolution, neglecting diverse indigenous contributions.

    3. Neglect of Indigenous History: Marginalizes indigenous Indian history, undermining its richness and depth, presenting it as subordinate to external influences.

    4. Imposition of Western Framework: Imposing Western concepts fails to capture indigenous perspectives and continuity, distorting the understanding of India’s historical evolution.

    5. Colonial Interpretation: Favors British colonial narratives, justifying British rule as a necessary stage of progress, overlooking the complexities of pre-colonial Indian society.

    This framework lacks depth, distorts indigenous history, and reinforces colonial biases, offering a skewed understanding of India’s historical progression.
