Ancient India Part II for History Optional

 Continuing with the previous post, here are my notes for Ancient India (Units 7-12) for History Optional. The sources for these notes were Professor Upinder Singh's A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India: From Stone Age to the 12th Century as well as some internet sources (selfstudyhistory.com) for topics that I couldn't find in the book. As always, R.S. Sharma's Ancient India formed the basis of my notes.

    On the 75th Republic Day of India, the nation commemorates its journey towards freedom and democracy. The grand celebration showcases the rich cultural diversity through parades, patriotic fervor, and the unfurling of the tricolor. It's a moment to reflect on India's progress, honor heroes, and renew the commitment to a united, prosperous future.

World History for History Optional

 Here are my World history notes for History Optional. I referred to Jain and Mathur, Norman Lowe, selfstudyhistory.com and my own graduation notes for the same. I started making handwritten notes but got super tired and shifted to online notes but that didn't take away the boredom. So, I came back to handwritten notes for the last few units.  CJ's Handwritten Notes for World History (Units 16-27) CJ's Online Notes for World History (Units 16-27) With this, I conclude my notes for History Optional! Hope these help you out!

Book-list (GS)

 For the past few days, I've been bombarded with requests for my complete book-list. Quite understandable, as aspirants are confused by the multiplicity of sources available in the market as well as the numerous recommendations by their coaching institutes. Since the syllabus is already pretty vast, there is a need to limit sources and then make notes accordingly, so as to not waste time on books that have a low cost benefit ratio. Without further ado, here's the book-list that I followed.
