Explanation:

Option 1 seems tempting. But, among the earlier writers whom the author mentions, like Abdul Fazl could be Indians too. Therefore, option1 can be ruled out. Again, Earlier historians could be trained as well, especially the English.
Option 2, therefore can be done away with.
Option 3 is a possibility, because the earlier approach was Anglo-centric and this one by trained Indian historians gave an Indian perspective.
Option 4 is ruled out because earlier than this time, Indian history was written in India.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
