    Good evening ma'am , how much of your college years helped you to clear the exam apart from 1 year rigorous prep. And have you read newspaper and basic books during college as well .

    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.

Hope these help you out!
