I didn’t write answers to any of these question because I didn’t have the time, but after I was done preparing World History, I ensured that I knew the answers to all of these.
I copy pasted all of these into a word document, and you can find them. He has taken questions from past History optional mains papers, and also from annual examinations of various reputed universities around the country. Once you’re done with all of this, a good way to revise is to download the meticulously prepared by Mrunal Patel, and available on his website. I think for the 1717-1857 part, this is enough for GS (the timeline notes go on beyond 1857, and till 1947 however, the notes in the link above are not exhaustive for period after 1857, and should be used only as a ready reference. I consolidated all of these into brief notes in a timeline form. Closer to the exam, I googled all the major incidents between 17, and made short notes on them (these include Carnatic wars, Battles of Plassey, Panipat, Buxar, Anglo-Mysore wars, Anglo-Maratha wars, and several important treaties, charters, and social reform movements). However, I didn’t make notes, and forgot most of it. This was the first book I read for my UPSC preparation. For (i), Bipan Chandra’s ‘History of Modern India’ (I think this used to be an NCERT) is useful.
As a consequence, to ensure I actually remembered all that I thought I should remember, I started preparing questions for several topics.įor example, I have summarised Spectrum (for History), NCERTs (6-12) for Geography, DD Basu and Subhash Kashyap for polity, and Shankar IAS’s environment book in question form, usually chapter wise (all of these question files are included under relevant topics in the links above). I was really worried after CSAT was scrapped, and I thought the only way to clear prelims was to remember as many small details as possible. Different things work for different people.
