assist you on your journey to success [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so very good evening to all of you I hope you're all doing good yes how's the J Jo it should be high very high right it's a very important session we are about to approach prelims right only three and a half months to go and you're all your right to get the last minute Gan and effective strategy that's what we are here for right so we will start with what you should do in these coming three and a half months I'm taking history and culture all the Indian history aspects to tell you that what now you need to do right I'm assuming that you must have at least started your preparation for history right and even if someone has not they should not be fearing or should not have any kind of fear right so the first thing which you should know is that what actually we need to know for history to be able to make a very construct RVE strategy right so why this session because we all know that despite of knowing everything road is not straight what we think that this is the source this is the test series these are the books these are the topics but still you're not able to solve the questions right it's always very new very new experience whenever you get to see any test specifically any F lend test any open test any any abhas test and even including your upsc prelims papers as well right so what we then think and do is that luck favor so Lu luck is also made and created for upsc to be very honest when we hear the topper talk we come to know how many so there is a checklist which they all say that these are the ncrs these are the topics which we did and bang on they cleared the exam right so you have to make a constructive scientific comprehensive strategy for all these subjects for the remaining time at your hand right so for that what you need to do is you need to understand the nature of the exam right so the nature of the exam although very unpredictable very uncertain that's what we think about upsc that it is the unpredictable examination of the country but it's Hal truth why it is Hal truth because we still feel that there are certain topics there are certain predictable themes which you can work upon from the previous analysis you can understand the trends you can link certain portions with the current affairs and that is what the mix of upsc question questions are the upsc is all about glitches sometimes it clicks sometimes it does not click so life is like that right so you should not lose hope every step you take is what counts and you are just just near the success right so first of all what we should know is what are actually the kind of questions and number of questions that come in history so let's understand in the last 10 years how has been the nature of the questions and how many number of questions uh have been asked in history right so this is where the trick lies and this is what is making the difficulty level for Indian History Section you know uh very difficult reason being that it is the modern Indian History Section that we have to focus more right so in the last 10 years there have been 65 questions in modern history and if you see the collect Ive questions of ancient material and culture the count comes out to be 105 right is that you need to switch around think around what are you going or doing wrong in your preparation that's why time and again we are always emphasizing on keeping in line with what upsc is asking how upsc is evolving right so if we look this trend anal look at this trend analysis we understand that it is the ancient medieval and culture that is being focused right but if we collectively see the number of questions it comes out to be around 170 that means 17 to 18 questions every year in the last 10 years but in some year it comes out to be 20 22 that is again and how upsc changes its Trend some weightage is given extra to some subject in one particular year right so you have to be mentally prepared in what you are understanding about upsc right so let's start with the subject I will be taking up first modern Indian history to understand what effective strategy we need to make for these upcoming months right so coming to the predictable teams yes there are very much predictable themes which you have to do when it comes to this subject that is modern Indian history first being act based questions every year almost I'm not emphasizing on this fact this is the truth that almost every year you get a question right that means test series Mays you have to practice this Topic in depth because this is a predictable theme right next is your gandhian phase and Indian national movement now coming to gandhian phase and Indian national movement again there are questions which are very predictable very easy and this is again one section which you have to prepare prepare come what may that if this topic is coming I have to get this question right right then peasant and tribal movement civil rebellions on and off questions do come every alternate Year from this topic right similarly personality based questions also has a huge weightage when it comes to Modern Indian history prelims right now these personality questions come from different phases of Indian history right to kab socio religious movement whether you know in some year they would ask from your extremist face some in some year they would ask the personalities from the Revolutionary phase right so these are the areas which are very hotelling unpredictable right coming to the kind of questions very quickly so when it comes to act based questions in modern Indian history usually upsc interchanges the options with some other Act or provision that you need to be very crystal clear in the provisions of the acts because they have this tendency to Interchange or question they will replace one option with the other one act with the other so that is what you need to do that you need to know the provisions of the acts right next they have this tendency of you know going to indepth in these questions what I mean by indepth is that now they have started to make an act based question theme based theme based question it says that Monte CH for reforms of 1919 recommended granting voting rights to all the women above the age of 21 similarly if you see the second statement it says GOI Act of 1935 gave women reserved seats in legislature so this is a theme based question within the ACT based questions so this is what you need to understand if you randomly do the provisions nothing will stick to your mind because questions and theme based B right so that's how you need to prepare this section coming to gandhian phase usually questions have been very easy jaran ret act ret sat is a very important topic so this is again on the expected lines that if you will be covering the gandhian phase till quit India movement questions are relatively easier right similarly you get questions on the Mahatma Gandhi and his role in South Africa so all of what you get in your ncrt or Spectrum or your any standard notes that's what you do right in this section similarly question 8 August 1942 is significant for what it's related to quit India movement so date specific questions event specific questions again is what upsc is asking obviously history history is about events right what you have experienced or the past personalities have done their contributions so that's what they usually ask in History Section right coming to Peasant and tribal movements again questions have been very easier very easy unexpected lines r system what is Ulan related to so they are again very easy topics right similarly there had been question on sthal Uprising also right usually when you have predictable themes uh it is here that upsc is asking very difficult statements which you usually don't find in your regular textbooks in the end when we will be summarizing what you need to do for modern Indian history but uh rest assured whenever it comes to predictable themes or topics you have to do the length and breadth of that topic right similarly if you see personality based questions that they pick up personalities from extremist phase to yeah CDM movement or gandhian phase to a question tanour co who broke the salt law right similarly who wrote the biographies of missini Gary Baldi he was once elected to the Central Assembly so these are how personality based questions look like similarly who all have been associated with G party if you see this question this is again personalities and how they have been related with different organizations or bodies right so there is a pool of Personality based questions it is a factual portion but yeah why we are you know showing it to you because you have to now streamline your preparation you are reading books the way books have been written we are saying that you need to prepare those topics the way UPS is asking there is a difference right we will be discussing on that as well so social religious movement personalities directly questions are not coming on social religious movements per se but personalities are picked up so for example ishwar Chandra Vidya Sagar P question similarly there had been a work or Journal written by J F uh wankar Mahatma Gandhi beim ra edar so all these options were given and you had to find out that who had written wh with vanak right so these are the personality based questions difficult question rakma Cas because it's usually not found in your regular textbooks right so that's what we need to understand if we summarize modern Indian history that when it comes to predictable themes they are increasing the difficulty level right so what are the changing Trends so one is we've discussed how predictable themes and questions look like now how are they changing the trends in modern Indian history and how you need to now align your prelims preparation with that the areas which now they have started to focus in the last three to four years have been from these sections why because usually they are left in your preparation difficulty level what will they do obviously they will pick up those sections which you leave you you used to leave medieval you used to leave ancient you used to leave culture AB right so they will increase the number of questions in in the same way in modern Indian history also they have now started to explore those themes which you usually leave right these themes are Advent of Europeans economic impact of British rule collectively why this SE ction has been picked up by upsc if we see the history in an organic way these are the turning points in history so from medieval you enter into Modern India period because of these events are you understanding this these are turning points in different phases of History had they not come had the British not ruled over us we would not have seen the way we have seen or we are seeing Indian history now right to Foreigner invasions this is how you understand the turning points to is questions are coming on the colonial impact or British economic impact over India or Advent of Europeans to these are the hot selling now themes which you need to prepare similarly governor general why have they started asking questions on governor general again because of the contributions they have done positively obviously keep School B some had passed some legislation which again changed the society right so these are all policies and initiatives which different Governor generals undertook in India that's what they are focusing next thing which has changed the nature of modern Indian history is your current affairs Now history is also linked with newspaper reading so let's see how these questions look like and then we will summarize Advent of Europeans mostly they are asking questions ke factories set up K who gave the land when they came to India right so these are again those aspects which you need to prepare right similarly if you see again there had been a question on factories that on which all areas did the British India or East India Company set up factories right bro chaol Tran Pali so again these are those aspects similarly if you see economic impact ke questions very important impact of British rule was in economy which is seen which is seen critically right there had been journals written there had been awareness spread by you know different personalities in Indian history to make people aware how how was the nature of the British rule to is questions come from the Import and Export of Commodities how different you know initiatives which the britishers did led to a change in Indian economy just just to give you an example which of the following statements correctly explains the impact of Industrial Revolution on India during the first half of the 19th century impact of industrial revolution industrial revolution growth of Industries but India handicraft industries were ruining so there was happening deindustrialization so that explains the nature of the impact of Industrial Revolution to is in history conceptual questions are also asked factual analy itical question this is what you call when you understand certain concept you are very sure in the answer because these are the questions which are difficult but on predictable lines options which may confuse you so you need to Haun the concept the theoretical aspects even in history history is not only about facts history is about how you understand certain things why did they take place right then coming to governor general their policies and initiatives see the question there have been questions on Lord wellis Le I don't know why there had been a question asked on subsidary Alliance of Lord wellis Le why did wellis Le established Fort William college at Kolkata similarly there was another question where they asked that who set up again Fort William college or Y they played with Arthur and Richard will l so wellesly that means is very favorite to that means again you have to pick up certain things and mind you these two questions if I'm not wrong came in one paper only right so these are the things which you need to know ke vly is a very important topic or as such Governor generals Focus which you usually leave right because these are the changes Trends now coming to current affairs linkage in modern Indian history so there was this question asked hind Maur Sabha established in 1948 who were its Founders all of a sudden why will upsc ask hind Maur Saba right so there was a current affairs linkage so in 2018 January there were lot many news coming with respect to labor union issue and the industrial disputes act many labor unions were raising concerns in the changes that were done in the industrial laws and hind mazur Sabha was very much in Focus newspaper if any labor union any organization any historical personality which has been talked about or which has come in the news you you have to do its static portion the question history directly current affairs economics or let's say po history may still things are under the cover it is a current affairs question but it does not look like current affairs question so you need to understand this this is where you need to sync your preparation modern Indian history questions similarly if I show you another question this was this question asked on Mahatma Gandhi who among the following is associated with song from prison a translation of ancient Indian religious lyrics in English song from prison news question news was coming on maharashtra's jail tourism initiative that they started from yada jail yada jail how many of you know is associated with Mahatma Gandhi he was put in jail in yada right or he wrote this song from prison yada jail tourism initiative signal jail yes I have read in Spectrum yes I have read it in my notes yada jail has to do something with modern Indian history I need to prepare it this is what you need to do now because number of questions so despite of you all knowing the sources these are the changing questions which change your destiny questions easy and this these questions make you different from the other right so this is where you need to practice sources and what should be the effective strategy for modern Indian history so when it comes to sources there has to be delineation of the sources that this is what I will do this is what I will not do or this is what I will do selectively yeah essential material which could be either your ncrt your class notes or Spectrum anything which you feel that is most comprehensive right right second test series why because all the books are not comprehensive what does test series do it gives you different kinds of questions different kinds of facts which you need to integrate in your notes notes for the portions or the facts which you do not get in your regular textbook which you're reading as a revision book you need to include those facts in one place that you will rewrite ret satra all over again apprach right from the book which you have your mark that this is where I will study my modern Indian history I will include all the possible facts which I have gained either through test series or through newspaper and make it your last revision book or compilation don't rewrite everything don't rewrite peasant movements you just need to include the facts so that is what you need to now do right so that means you have to revise your basic books you have to make use of test series as the source as well as the explanations also as a source material K questions May information I'm including the questions also as part of source in depth yes you have to go in predictable themes in predictable themes themes like acts thems like gandhian pH thems like peasant and tribal Rebellion so you need to go in depth right personalities May yes you need to prepare them you have to next do what that you have to link your newspaper reading with your static portions I'm again repeating in modern Indian history the questions are not looking like current affairs but they are current affairs to is say you have to make use of the understanding which we are providing you now coming to art and culture and then afterwards I will take the questions whatever is bothering you for this subject art and culture of ancient medieval history as I told you in the last 10 years there have been 105 questions that means Clos around 10 to 11 questions do we have predictable themes yes yes we do have and the second thing which you need to do is you have to be selective in this subject right so I will be telling you what you need to do what are the predictable themes obviously Buddhism and jism it goes without saying that you have to prepare it right unesco's intangible cultural heritage list unesco's world heritage sites dances and festivals tribes architecture then what is left if I'm telling you all this that you have to do to be very honest to be very honest I'm being very Frank that yes questions in art and culture have come from every topic if you talk about Temple yes they have asked if you talk about caves yes they have asked if you talk about significant places yes they have are they linking current affairs yes they are right are they asking questions from UNESCO list whether world heritage site or intangible cultural heritage list yes are they asking questions from tribes dances festivals yes are they asking questions from git tag yes to up yeah yeah UNESCO UNESCO either world heritage side or intangible cultural heritage list you have to prepare them yeah defined how many world heritage sites are we having 42 42 May aant famous right 42 May there are certain monuments which are very famous if you talk about intangible cultural heritage list certain paintings certain dance form certain puppetry theater Traditions yes they will be asking prepare them if you talk about dances prepare classical dances rest PT 365 at which is compilation of all the you know current affairs May what dances or paintings have come in news use that or right so you have to limit your Source take coming to the kind of questions so if I were to give you a framework specifically in Buddhism and jism there are questions coming on core philosophy that means you need to know the core philosophy of Buddhism and jism you need to prepare literature of Buddhism and jism the texts do you have to prepare paintings yes Buddhist paintings gen paintings do you have to prepare their architecture yes yes you need to know stupas chetas viharas Buddhist temples J temples but kitna to what extent extent Define in culture from two aspects one is your current affairs any Buddhist temple any Buddhist site any gen Temple any gen inside any Cheta vihara is coming in news you have to know it and then is related to core subject examples Buddhist architecture you cannot do Buddhist architecture without doing certain Landmark architectures just say any example sist very good any other example Udi Kiri caves allora aenta paintings right so this is what you need to do extent extent core subject examples or Landmark pillars and current affairs core May I'm not talking about the whole list of stupas chetas viharas I'm talking about core examples right similarly current affairs to say questions yes there is another thing which is becoming very famous that is different sects of Buddhism and jism so this topic is difficult because NCR so here I would recommend a specific book right apart from your test series apart from your class notes apart from your ncrt you need to prepare this topic from Al basham's wonder that was India book popular there is another book which I want to suggest but I will not upender Singh only for Buddhism and jism I'm talking about but I know that they will ask a question which you don't know stick to one reference book stick to one reference book that is Al Basham or upenda whatever you feel like because there's a sea of ocean when it comes to facts and knowing things in Buddhism and jism then coming to another areas so this is the important book which I am suggesting El basham's wonder that was India then coming to UNESCO as I told you that unesco's intangible cultural heritage list you have to prepare just for example mudu Calia cha dance San Kum MAA so all these Traditions are listed there there can be questions on them so this is just inscribed list there is nominated list also say for example they have asked questions already from kalamari and and Satria Dan you never never know that they ask questions on what is ratwa so ratwa is a tribal dance questions what is rata in the cultural history of India it is a handicraft it is a tribe name it is a folk dance or a tribal dance right so you need to prepare this list deep they ask very factual questions right similarly unesco's world heritage list 42 sites the last one is Shanti nikan and uh you have to prepare all the sides right General awareness statements for example which state has a maximum world heritage sites or which state does not have any world heritage site which UT has maximum sites which UT does not have any world heritage site so this is about again how curious you are to know about the cultural heritage right similarly current affairs linkage culture May question bun belongs to although this is a very static portion when you do paintings bnan are the most famous ones right but he there had been news coming on that kishar airport is being beautified with bunny Toney paintings right so any uh remodification is done on airports or Railway stations or any foreign dignitary comes you have to make a note of it that inspires the paper Setter to ask questions on the same topic itself right similarly there are newspaper inspired questions also which has nothing to do with current affairs the questions are directly lifted from a particular newspaper Indian Express Hindu to random article as right so never lose on historical or ancient or cultural articles whenever you get your hands on them in any newspaper right next current affairs linkage on Traditions festivals GI tags very very important newspaper right extent you have to draw the boundary line newspapers or PT 365 material right cultural places sites GI tags as I'm telling you these are very important topics in culture crafts handicrafts again you have link with newspaper May a chees the and question is also coming in the same year right so as I'm telling you newspaper May you have to make sure that you are not losing out on any historical or cultural tradition right these are becoming very important now pilgrimage sites pilgrimage places temples important temples temples of India pilgrimage sites jings mahakal everyone is going to mahakal to you never know that inspires the paper seta to which Dynasty madh Pradesh may had been ruling in medieval and ancient times do madh Pradesh right which is changing the trend in upsc right similarly as I told you sites sites pilgrimage places important cultural places are very hot favorites of upsc now in the last three four years maximum questions are coming from here whether it's ancient sites medieval sites or cultural sites right similarly if any dignitary just say prime minister of India president any foreign dignitary also visits any important monuments or cultural if they've gone to inaugurate statue of equality what is the philosophy of ramu aara right so questions can be a blend of static as well as current affairs inspired questions now coming to ancient India these are the predictable themes socioeconomic life when it comes to socioeconomic life you have more term related questions in them right Indus Valley Civilization modin period suum period and cultural contributions are text related to Medicine astronomy mathematics science SNT Etc these are the predictable themes right so IND this Valley Civilization very important you get questions on sites also directly you get current affairs inspired question DOA vir UNESCO world heritage site status so they a very simple question you can be lucky when you get such questions which are so simple otherwise similarly you get questions on the socio economic aspects of Indus Valley as compared to rigc phase right so you have to go in depth in Indus Valley whatever predictable themes I'm sharing with you you have to go in depth right secondly moras a shokan sites they are very important okay ncrt may you get hold of any map you have to prepare map anything what is there in ncrt you have to internalize it things will be difficult ncrt but you have to make sure that you are doing ncrt by heart everything what is written you are knowing about it as I told you significant places culture ganes chra questions factual this is the subject's nature is factual but you need to make sure that you're picking up themes in ancient medieval and doing it like that the places sites is Z Focus as I'm again and again telling you what happens and what is wrong in the preparation is that you keep on reading the book in the same manner I'm saying that in the last now whatever time is left you have to read the books in the way questions are coming that is how you make or become closer to upsc AB you know things but you're not close to solving questions there is a difference you have to come close close to solving questions right newspaper so chra kugar was coming in the news Heritage panel plans International Center at chra kugar Inspire paper set right similarly Maps again whenever you get hold of ancient medieval Maps you have to know them to yeah ancient now coming to Medieval very important significant dynasties like Delhi sultanate mugal Vijay nagar bti Sufi Traditions terminology based questions on socioeconomic life they are still very important right but coming to what next Beyond them so if we quickly understand that what we need to do in this section primar that they are now asking difficult questions also J say according to Portuguese writer newness the women in vij nagar Empire were expert in which of the following areas question vijar but it not difficult that you don't know so pick the theme and do its length and breadth 360° if you know vij nagar is important you need to prepare it exhaustively same goes where with modern same goes with ancient and same goes with culture and medieval similarly questions Dam socio economic life right now coming to what next or extra you need to do up Focus predictable themes Ex side now how you need to cater to the ancient and medieval new emerging Trends you new emerging Trends they are coming or asking questions on basically a certain timeline and area and that is the [Music] transitional phase so when we do ancient the important dynasties are moras and guptas but AG you don't know yes so from here questions are coming from the decline of guptas until the rise of harshan in the early 7th Century which of the following kingdoms are holding power in North India so transitional phase these are the new emerging teams which you have to find out in your ncrt again ncrt only right similarly if you see these question this question also they are primarily those dynasties which are the early medieval dynasties or late ancient dynasties ancient medieval transition questions right if you see another question how many of the above dynasties established Their Kingdoms in early 8th Century dynasties be they are all medieval dynasties 10th 11th century upwards so this is where you need to focus now another emerging trend is your specifically invasions specifically invasions in modern history Europeans came they changed the course of history similarly ancient to Medieval maybe Invasion zo which changed the course of history that's from where questions are coming so you need to focus the usually it is said that you need not prepare political history battles but developments that change the course of history is what they are asking so these are the new emerging trends which you need to prepare in ancient and medieval right important themes this year specifically in culture bhat mandapam exhibition many handicrafts Delicacies paintings were exhibited gifts were given those dignitaries visited certain places in India subar right you know extent current affairs and very factual portions which you need to do which time period was that Monument built who was the ruler right which tribe is associated with this handicraft right so very factual questions come they don't go too deep in them but you have to prepare a list although this will be covered in your PT 365 I'm hoping because this is what it was current affairs for this year but this is what you need to do new Parliament building very important okay now coming to the understanding which way to go after knowing all this what is this road to success this road to success is defined by a very clear vision and strategy well defined goals you need to your mark that this is what you need to do if this is not done you will always be swinging from here to here there so you need to have well- defined goals you need to have a solid foundation base base to certain essential certain predictable things which you need to do you need to have right approach right approach different from what you have been doing that you're reading a book The Way books are written you need to read them according to the approach which upsc is having right and taking action that means you need to solve test series you need not fear from open test and abhas you need to measure your performance because ultimately you all are competing with each other right next thing what are the key takeaways then the same thing basic fundamental books test series as a source specifically for this subject prepare the important topics specifically in predictable themes you have to have in-depth analysis you have to do chronology because this is history and then you need to make a link between current affairs and the static portions right now you can ask me your questions yes I care that some question are asked from the times of India live new ma'am how to deal with it yes uh a very valid question that what to do when questions directly come from a newspaper so you are either following Hindu or Indian Express I will not tell you to change your approach or newspaper just because of one question coming it's not 100 questions coming right and secondly newspapers are just for the information that these are the themes which you need to prepare as a upsc aspirant as a curious and updated aspirant as an aware aspirant what you need to know is that when something is coming recurrently repeatedly in a newspaper that means you have to do that topic you have to prepare that topic once you have finalized that okay I'm reading the Hindu this team is coming repeatedly you Google that theme prepare that theme from 360° and that's how you cover that topic to problem that will end we are we have to change the way we are reading things right anyone uh see again if you want to go back and take the reference of that question which you're talking about that uh what were the roles that were taken up by women in vijin nagar Empire again analysis or summary is helpful in means right just particular option questions options that enabled us to solve the question but coming to your question that how far we have to go when it comes to these predictable themes yes you have to go far extend draw that how deep actually you are going Women cast economic life again have been predominant themes which upsc picks up women favorite and economic life favorite social life cast yeah women that's what they ask what roles What professions do they take up what was allowed for them to do so these are again those traditional things roles problem Indian Society roles the predictable teams May yes you have to go far Travelers their summaries not elaborately but yes from the prelims perspective anyone else yes let me very quickly go to the map very important question how to do map in [Music] history so question came in which one of the following regions was dhya katak which flourished as a prominent Buddhist center under the mahasangh as I told you places are coming map yeah ncrt map D Dak is mentioned in NC right so they asked a question Andra gandhar related king or magad Andra you know gandhar Kaling magad orisa North Northwest Dak Andra this is how you use map that you need to know if place are written you don't know what is Dak you have to Google amraa because amravati was also an important center of Buddhism is it an old name and yes old and new names or modern names are also very famous in previous years 10 years back if you if you ask me the analysis of 20 years this old name medieval name modern name uh were the question questions which were asked you never know they repeat the same H so that is how you do maps anything else subjects even subjects or it is the time of revision multiple revisions even ma'am' how many subjects are left ma'am agriculture' just a matter of one and a half months I happen to uh see a Topper St I forgot her name she mentioned that she only had one month in her hand and she prepared for prelims and she got through and she's a rankholder to that prelims is just how you are in that moment you need to be positive you need to confident Li okay' that's that's what you need to do one more thing ma'am say multiple ABCD yes ma'am yes ma'am yes ma'am ma'am politics right so the more you practice the more you discuss the more Perfection you achieve so there is no shortcut when it is said revisions yes revisions facts unless and until you don't revise in multiple times that will not stay and then there are too many subjects so you have to revise ma'am one more thing as like subjects complete March predictable themes topics you need to prepare your current current affairs and Link the static portion so if in polity you're getting let's say Governor to Governor okay ma'am questions and PRS are coming from current affairs inspired issues whether it's po whether it's economy whether it's history whether it's environment you need to relate with your current affairs and do certain predictable things certain predictable pillars be Toppers if they have cleared prelims it's not as if they know everything they've done certain Essentials in three and a half months anyone else thank you ma'am so all the best guys have a nice day and wish you all the best make the most of it right don't get disappointed don't get uh you know jumbled up I know it is very challenging but there's always a ray of Hope right be successful they've always tasted failures so failure and success are not opposite to each other they are two sides of the same coin success
