Can anybody suggest the source for covering the topic "Significance of the Vedic age"?

PS: I've looked in Baliyan's notes,Rau's blue books and Upinder Singh

Kaafi preachy sound Karega but you won't get topics verbatim in the books. You have already covered enough resources. You just need to interlink. :)

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind

What is your take on the map question which came in this year's mains? I really struggled in that question ,it was my second attempt and first mains. I had prepared the map sites from GK Publications book but that seemed inadequate. Any suggestions to supplement my sources would also be welcome.

@97Utkarsh there has been extensive discussion on mapping in this thread. If you have time, you can scroll back previous comments. People have mentioned sources as well as approach.

Agar fir bhi na samajh aye toh puch lena.

OK, thank you

I have gone through the discussion on this thread for maps which was really helpful, so thank you for the suggestion@Usain_bolt . I am looking to keep using GK Publications book as base ,supplement it with Nandini Maharaj's notes and PYQs. Iss strategy mein koi dikkat ho toh any suggestions are welcome especially if I really need to include Selfstudyhistory or not.
