James Mill (born James Milne;[1] 6 April 1773 – 23 June 1836[2]) was a Scottish historian, economist, political theorist and philosopher. He is counted among the founders of the Ricardian school of economics.[3] He also wrote The History of British India (1817) and was one of the prominent historians to take a colonial approach.[4] He was the first writer to divide Indian history into three parts: Hindu, Muslim and British,[5][2] a classification which has proved surpassingly influential in the field of Indian historical studies.
Mill was the father of John Stuart Mill, a noted philosopher of liberalism and utilitarianism, and a colonial administrator at the East India Company.
