After the Indian independence, the events, descriptions and writings of Indians paved way for a new history. Amidst all these, as historians all over the world believed, Indians too believed that supplementary evidence was necessary. Even today it is widely accepted that without documentary evidence and proofs, history cannot be blindly accepted. 

1. In the recent decades, historians have started debating about the ways to write the history of the common people which does not have documentary evidence. 

Viewing history in a cyclic manner is called Kalachakra because it refers to wheel of time or "time-cycles".

Historians have always considered the history of ordinary people equally important. They made attempts to stir the memories of common folks to unearth details about various incidents and events. They are also trying to write history based on the study if folk songs, social traditions etc.

History is narrated as Tretayuga, Dwaparyuga etc. The Indian system views time in a cyclic manner. It is also referred to as Kalachakra. On completion of one Kalchakra, another begins. The completion of one of its cycle is known as Yuga. Thus, history has Yugas such as Tretayuga, Dwaparyuga etc.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

The manner in which the Indian system views time is cyclic. It is also referred to as Kalachakra. When one chakra completes, another starts. The completion of one of its cycle is known as Yuga. In this way, history has Yugas such as Tretayuga, Dwaparyuga etc.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

Historians resort to oral descriptions to narrate the lives of ordinary people. The history created by such oral descriptions is called Oral History.

 This model of historical perception concluded that the Indians lacked chronology and historical sense.

Since there was no accepted history of this race, it was through the sensibility expressed by the various African communities that African history could be written from the African view point.
