प्रश्न
The paragraph about how tea came to India brings out the difference between history based on oral sources and ‘recorded history’. Discuss how the author brings it out.
उत्तर
The author discusses the journey of tea to India. He first addresses the oral sources. Tea, for example, has been used as a medicinal herb in India since ancient. Here, it is clearly stated that this knowledge is 'considered' by historians and not confirmed. The author then provides historical details about how the British established plantations in the nineteenth century and how, in the 1770s, the British East India Company tried to grow tea but failed. This knowledge is presented at a specified time and contains sufficient evidence, hence it is based on "recorded history."
