Relevance of laxmikanth for mains?

edited November 2014 in Polity & Governance
I am getting doubtful of the need to revise the entire book for mains. Last year the polity questions were not about facts like structure/function/composition , they were more opinion based. I am not sure of the benefit of spending 3-4 days revising the book.

Any thoughts?

  • I agree, very little relevance except for selective topics.
  • No need just focus on things which are relevant lyk that of centre state relations etc...

    polity seem to be toughest for me apart from economy. If you have coaching notes related to current affairs of polity , better to follow those. Laxmikanth for reference/addendum only when you need.

    thanks everyone for replying

    @aamengineer - I didn't know there were current affair based polity notes. the ones I got of vajiram were just explaining the basics - static portion. which ones are you referring to ?

    got visionias materials current affairs (hard copies) from a friend who is my neighbour.
  • Going by prelims trend..there may be more factual questions. ..

    powers of speaker, functions of nhrc, scst cmsn..

    I'd say still relevant. Laxmikanth is always relevant... if possible read relevant topics from pub ad Laxmikanth..
