Thread kaafi shaant sa ho gya hai. I hope everyone is fine from any post-exam covid symptoms.

By the way, how are you guys spending time??
@SergioRamos@LetsGetThisBread@HeNeArKr@peterparker@sjerngal@D503@Villanelle@KingSlayer23 

Watching movies, playing Fifa, reading bunch of books that had been pending for a while.Btw  Manu S. Pillai’s False allies is a fresh take on role of princely states during colonial period in India

If anyone needs a good TV series recommendation, I just watched Mare of Easttown yesterday. Crazy show. 

It also has my childhood crush Kate Winslet in it<3<3

@tarun17 no authentic keys , even self study history, last year had marked wrong answers in the beginning, so relied mostly on googling and SSH map notes, 
I found one interesting thing on search though, the point in Jammu and Kashmir for Harappan site, could actually be Poonch, recently it has been under excavation for inclusion under IVC, though many marked it as Manda ( which may also be correct considering north limit).
I made a couple of stupid mistakes too, somehow getting 13-14 sites . I think many have found mapping easy this time.

@tarun17 I searched and there's no such group it seems😅
BTW, my attempt was better compared to last one (2016). Then, I got screwed in paper 1(98 marks😢). Didn't even know who the Nasir was in 'Tabaqati Nasiri'. Same with uttiramerur inscription, bahmani education. That was my first mains.
This time, luckily, obscure art and culture questions weren't asked and I think that helped. Paper went better, though I expect only 14 right one for mapping.

@RaGa Manda can't be correct. It's a long way down from the point given in exam. I knew Manda, but didn't write as I was sure it isn't. I had covered Harappan from a map book as well as from upinder and so, was sure that this one is either something new or an obscure one and not many are going to get it.

@Philip_Marlowe actually even I havnt written Manda, it can only be right if upsc made a printing mistake.
On my part funnily I wrote it as burzahom , as Harappan pottey had been discovered there but it seems unlikely to be correct. 
Poonch if u search on google is a recent news item and could have been the source of the question.

@Philip_Marlowe in map section,it felt as if they have marked the point too far off from expected famous place or some entirely new place
