As far as both colonial and nationalist historians are concerned they were prisoners of their time to a larger extent.As both history being influenced by the situation. Colonial historians constructed history to justify colonization while nationalist constructed history to spread nationalism. How ever to a lesser extent both colonial and nationalist historians were not prisoners of their time as they write history using common sense,feelings ,objective and favour.
