History Optional Students 2021- 2022

What is your plan? I am currently studying medieval India from Satish Chandra. Plan is to go through the complete syllabus at least once before June. 

i have started medieval from ignou BA material. (did satish chandra +baliyan = my short notes for last 2 mains ) . will further enrich my content now. 

I don't know how many of u guys face this problem. But i feel History optional(paper 1 in particular) qs are super vague at times. 

for example- critically analyze the muslim nobility of tughlaqs -- bahut vague lga mujhe.

I mean what to analyse here - their role in consolidation of sultanat ,racial outlook, secular approach ,efficiency, corruption  ,stability of kingdom or what? Also gst , mbt & fst k time change ho rha tha ye sab .  so i found itextremely difficult to write it in 1.5 pages only.

Similarly in the qs- Evaluate the contribution of shershah towards trade & commerce ,admin and agri reforms. simply uske reforms  likhna h or uske impact ko analyze bhi krna h. I just mentioned his reforms in these areas nd concluded by writing -because of these reforms ,he is termed as Akbar's forerunner by  many historians.

some people say there is no difference bw evaluate and critically evaluate . what u guys wrote for this, if attempted there?

For ancient - Map section thik se krna h. sites in news recently and ignou ba material sites add karunga. abhi tak bas  ssh material cover kr rha tha.

You talking about Paper 1? You need to look paper 2 they are super vague!! 

This question are more or less sab ek hi likhnge..!! Aur kaha se impact of such reform ka notes laye bhai.. Abhi Persian aur arabic sources thodi na baith k padhenge..!! 


I feel it's futile to keep banging our head. Even net pe nahi milta.. 


If you have a solution do let me know..!! 

😂😂 Yr jahan se ye reforms padhoge,usi book m inka aim and impact bhi milega.nd aims nd impacts k uper debate bhi milegi .

Tumne reforms k liye toh arabic/ Persian source nhi pdh liye na . 

All I want to say is - mention the contribution of sss towards these reforms nd evaluation the contribution of sss ... , Different qs h . Kitna different h ye doubt h. Evaluate wale m bas thoda sa analysis krna h . 


Baki wo bhai exam m allauddin, akbar nd sss ki table bnane ka soch rha h ,qs in sab ko compare nhi krwa rha h. In short ,such comparison is neither necessary nor viable to write .

Similarly,in Muslim nobility during Tughlaq dynasty qs - iltutmish nd Razia k steps kyu likhna h 10 marker m? I guess, Tughlaqs k muslim nobility ke postive features example- efficient , merit based ,diverse nd helped in consolidation nd expansion

Negative features- corruption during fst,assumed role of kingmaker later on , no coordination among different factions etc likhna h. But wahan 10 marker m limited time m itna nhi ho paya tha thik se.
