History Optional Students 2021- 2022

@SergioRamos I am doing this for govt schemes. I want use them extensively this time.

Sme pinch! Doing this also for Govt. Schemes. Btw, which document you are using? I'm using insights ka kyunki 2021 ka bas unhi ka tha.

Itne hi organised hote to ye 3rd attempt na hota! :P

Mai toh last vision wala 2020 hi kar raha. Actually last year due to covid govt announced that no more new schemes will be launched so most coachings didn't come with updated stuff. 2020 wala hi kafi tha. 

Vision wale mei ache se table bana k diya hai..easy to read+ more comprehensive. Mujhe  insights ka koi bhi material acha nai lagta.

Bhai isbar toh mehnat kar rhe ho nikal jayega!! 

Bhai log anybody has any idea about test series apart from GS score.

Selfstudyhistory? Baliyan? or any other.

Plz provide a review of them.

@lokiAsgard how has been your experience  with the optional? 

You can start with saying that the 2nd CW(1749-54) was an extension of political complexities arising from dynastic feuds of south India.

The body can be in two parts.

In the first part just draw one line in between, and write Hyderabad (H) and Arcot(A) in both sides. Now briefly summarise political happenings in both sides, like in H side just write Nasir Jung(English support) Vs. Muzaffar Jung(French support).

Reason:- Civil war after death of Nizam ul mulk(1748).

Do the same thing in A side. Do this thing in succinct points, if you try writing paragraphs you will loose both time and space(Remember it's 10 marker).

In the 2nd part of body you can write broad causes of internal decay in south dynasties  and Europeans using them ,like lack of succession principle in India since ancient times; increasing greed of Dupleix after win of 1st CW; disunity among kingdoms etc etc( normal textbook stuff)

Possibly you can also draw a small diagram/map locating important places in CW like this

I don't remember from where I have copied this map( B L Grover or Shekhar Babu or Sumit Sarkar?) but one can put this map in all CW questions.

In the conclusion you can write about broad impact of Europeans interference in domestic squabbles of India and how it fostered the British penetration and expansion in India(just 2-3 lines).

Thank you for asking and sorry for the late reply. Keep writing. 

Hi, is there a group for history optional 2021 answer writing?

You can use this book. It is not ideal but okay. Atleast it will help you in identifying sites. Unn sites pe content khud se bana lena.

Nobody is 'Sir' here.

I think this book has 2018, 2019 papers also in the revised editions, if there any. I purchased this book in 2020 and it had papers upto 2018. By now they would have updated I guess.

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
