How was your paper? How did you approach the paper?
Political Science guys...how is the josh ? Systems approach bhi 3 type ki hai (easton, wallerstein aur Kaplan ki...kal hi pata chala)
IMO , I don’t think you should stress about it , apart from wallerstein and Easton , independent approach as a question is less probable. You might use the others as passing references , like political culture for voter turnout and structal functional in political parties and pressure group answers

that's the structure of the syllabus :D your mind will always be in an anarchical state. the syllabus is huge and you'll forget stuff

plmokn25688524,Have to go over again IPT because I’ve only studied it in passing so far and maybe a quick look at the multitude of scholars we have in Sec B :/
And, will take notes to revise Sec B of Paper 2 tomorrow in the break (productivity level: pro max ultra and POV: very underprepared)
If you’re having any difficulty with the scholars view, just write the analysis. Should be enough to get you marks , this is what Shubhra Mam emphasised in class

Meaning write own analysis?
In all the GS papers bar Ethics, 80% paper could have been attempted with NCERT+ the usual suspects. Par nahi, jabtak "value add" nahi karenge to intellectual kaise banenge?
At many points it feels as if I am the one willingly refusing to get selected. :/
Koi value add ka jo path k gayi thi, wo likh k bhi nahi aayi. Lack of practice. Isse a haha 3. Mahine ache so hi leti

Meaning write own analysis?
Yes following the general thought of an analyst. Like CRM generally gives a realist view, while Happymon Jacob focuses on social contructivist analysis, or criticises the present approach

Same!! Really drives home the point of restricting our sources and focusing on revision and answer writing.

I *feel* our own arguments as long as they are relevant, logical and informed are better than flooding the answer with scholar opinions anyway.
