Dimensions in UPSC Prelims

My first post here.


What are the various dimensions the UPSC focusses on in Prelims?

If we can brainstorm and create a list here for each subject, it would be immensely helpful including Current Affairs! 


For ex: Modern India, some of the dimensions would be the congress sessions, peasant movements etc.
