@tarun17 Regarding analytical nature of question
As one famous history teacher says if “Books are allowed in UPSC exam hall, History students opting to carry book with them will be the biggest losers “

Erroneously marked map locations and Analytical style of questions 🥴 

I hope everyone gets 2 marks for that map point in Kashmir.

Wo toh pichle 2 saal se History optional bani hui hai. While people in a thro are easily scoring 250, humare toppers 250-70 me fasse hue hai


"Easily cross 250" wali soch bohot hi misleading hai, i crossed from history to anthro then back here simply coz mujhe anthro thoda bhi nahi jama. One funny thing is I use to write those qs in p2 anthro well which had history related aspects, like Neolithic, Harappan (asked in 2019), baki i just worte...

I don't think it works that way. Most likely that those 2.5 marks will be distributed in the total marks of 1st paper or into the remaining 14 map questions.

Don't know how they can mess up like that. I knew Harappan sites pretty well, so was 100% sure it's not Manda, thought it's something new. But now I think should've simply written Manda without much thinking, as it was the northern most Harappan site, and if a new such site was discovered it would definitely have come in news.

@EiChan Bhai Upinder Singh padhi hai maine.
Kai saari books padhi hai tumlog ke optional ki.
Intellectual to hai but at ek point ke baad sabhi optional me wahi  cheezein baar baar revise karni padti hai.Boring ho jaati hain saari Intellectual cheezein.
Need hai optional ka Kaun kitna ghis sakta hai
In my opinion,humanities optional mein one of the most lengthiest optional hai history.


You've read Upinder, please read ancient India part of optional question papers too. You'll understand that for ancient, they're not asking directly even from Upinder. Someone told me they ask from Indian History Congress papers. So I went through them too, to check it.Turns out, it's just a myth.

Edit - speculation ek dum galat hai. Meri gut feeling hai is bar PSIR me bhut log 300 paar 😆😆


Fir anthro pe aisi buri nazar mt daalo.

Maine bhi chhodd diya tha ...last 1 min me jab paper collect karna shuru hua tab I wrote burzahom, waha pe ek Harappan pottery mili this shayad, so I wrote that quickly...

Bahar aake dekha to pata laga ki poonch me ASI had started searching for evidence of ivc in 2019 but later there is no news.. but it's very unlikely ki correct ho, baki hopefully kuch to marks mile is baat ke ki site hi wrong hai
