I have read Jain and Mathur book. Topics mentioned in syllabus are directly mentioned in that book. So that book covers everything. But you can refer to Norman Lowe for 20th century history and can read 18th-19th century history topics from Jain and Mathur. That is what I did. Not much knowledge on L Mukherjee and selfstudy history notes.Can anyone help me in world history. I am getting clueless in this. I have collected basic sources like selfstudy material, L Mukherjee book and Norman Lowe. Ofcourse I cannot read them all. I have not started anything. I was just looking at PYQs..got some idea, but kisi ne subject padha hua hai toh bhai guide kar do thoda. It would be very kind of you people.@SergioRamos@Freakhoto
Yeah, most people usually attempt only 2 questions from World history. I also did that in this mains. But it is always wise to prepare all the parts of syllabus well. I would say that do not run after all sorts of sources. No need to pick up a new book if you are running short of time and feel that you can not complete it. Stick to few sources which can cover whole syllabus.@Devanapiyam Thank you bhai. Actually a few days back I asked Chitra Mishra mam. She was kind enough to respond personally. She told me if you believe you are thorough with other parts of syllabus then you can afford to take risk of taking one section lightly, depending upon your priorities of GS and optional. You will anyway attempt only 2 questions in world history section. Agar kuch bhi samajh na aye toh bas PYQs se major themes bana lena aur koi bhi standard source se uspe content ready kar lena. That will be enough.
Also I was feeling a bit exhausted after continuous note making of paper1 and section A of second paper. After a few days break from optional I will pick up Jain and mathur. Dekhte hai mujhse ho bhi pata hai ya nai. Thanks for the info😊
Revival kara jaye iska?@Devanapiyam @Duryodhan @Luffy @Freakhoto @Usain_bolt
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 tried making notes from Upinder Singh on Evernote. Do not know if I am doing it correctly or not. Take a lookRevival kara jaye iska?@Devanapiyam @Duryodhan @Luffy @Freakhoto @Usain_bolt

An intensive NOTE MAKING spree. Starting with Upinder singh. The beauty of the book is such that no question, whether GS or optional, escapes this book. I get irritated when I able to faintly recall the topic but cannot reproduce it. Hence the notes.
Just writing it in points, making proper headings, sub-headings. Focus yahi h ki last k 1-2 hours exam se pehle m sirf woh sub-heading hi padh le taki flow m sab recall ho sake. Yet to highlight imp sub-headings.I tried making notes from Upinder Singh on Evernote. Do not know if I am doing it correctly or not.

Yar mujhse toh ye online notemaking kabhi samajh hi nai aya. I am not that tech savvy. Hum toh pen paper pe hi ghiste hain.
What are the broad things you keep in mind while making notes?
That question on nobility was simply asking about difference in nobility during MbT's time and during Firuz's time. You can simply make a table or highlight the difference in nobility. E.g. MbT tried to recruit nobility from lower class while during Firuz's period people from lower class were not inducted. Also, nobility did not have hereditary character under MbT but it did acquire that character under Firuz.What is your plan? I am currently studying medieval India from Satish Chandra.

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.
