preparing for culture sometimes seems to be a pure waste of time and effort .. UPSC can easily stump anyone here how much ever he has prepared.. it is not worth the time ..
this year is my first attempt.. and I dint touch culture for a minute.. but questions were relatively damn easily attemptable for tamilian .. just pure luck ..
i would advice aspirants to study other sections clearly and may be go thru ccrt India's site once in a while you are bored..
earlier i did the same mrunal for too by refering to some of my friends. Later they go bored with that site ha ha ha and now they rarely go on mrunal.
And in last aug i told my friends to join forumias then they also thought i might have started this forum ha ha ha...isiliye kisiko batane ka nahi...otherwise they started suspecting u itself
Okay, here is the thing. Read it full even if if you find it quite off-topic in the beginning.
How do we prepare History for Prelims? 1. For prelims, the only part of History that you need to do is Modern History Post 1857. Which book? Spectrum's History[click] will suffice.
But I have seen questions coming from Jaina & Buddha coming in Prelims. Don''t we have to do ancient also? I do not know anyone writing Mains who has done Ancient. Plus, those who do ancient, usually follow the flawed strategy of beginning to study History from harappa. The problem? By the time they reach 1905, from where most questions will come, they get exhausted and miss out the remaining part, which is not only the most important part - It is the only part you need to do.
The part that is asked in Prelims in the past 3 years is NOT from Ancient History. It is from Culture!
How do you know? I had not done Culture in my first attempt and only focussed on ancient, hoping to do those questions. I was not able to answer them.
In my second attempt, I only did Culture and History post 1857-1947(very thoroughly)
