GS Paper IV Theory - Red Book

| 4 year(s) ago

RED BOOK - GS IV

Hello All,

So yours truly has been secretly working on a new project - diyethics.com for the past year to compile GS IV Study Material. This was after one of forum members said that forum does not have a good GS IV reference material.

I have also taken some classes on the same and have managed to compile a lot of things in this book.

You can check out the Red Book here . For complete beginners and those appearing this year Mains can use parts of the book to augment their content - or build some good content by using content from this book.

The book is free as of now.

Here is the link!

Take a look, and leave a Thank you Note if you feel it helps solve some problems :)

Where it lacks, please PM me and I shall work on it.

Link to the hardcopy of the Book on Amazon

@Neyawn sir take a bow. You single handedly did what is done by a spate of so called experts by other institutes.

Just an humble thank you from my side. Have summarised all the definitions used in this book in a single table, as per chronology of the syllabus. Truly, this booklet deserves all the praise it is receiving on this thread!Ethics_Definition_Table.pdf

@Neyawn Just skimmed through this document. Had it come an year ago, lots of my efforts would have reduced. This Red Book should become the Go-to material for GS-4 for every aspirant in times to come!

Great work@Neyawn.The book is rich with content. Thank you for this.

On a different note, can we expect an essay guide or a book from you on similar lines? :P :P

Thanku so much for this. I was your Ethics+ student also. I loved it very much and Depended on it. Those notes are my base notes. But could not reproduce everything in the mains last time. Waiting for the marks.

Now, this Red Book is an immense help for us.

@Neyawn Very good effort. Examples, quotes all are embedded. One suggestion I would give is case study thing can be added and more diagrams can be also be added here. But no matter what, the book is gold.

All inputs will be taken care of. The goal is reduce the size of the book, not make it any more bulkier.
