Modern Indian History + Freedom Struggle:
1- Booklist:
- Old NCERT - Modern India - Bipan Chandra.
- Spectrum.
- Vajiram Class notes - Parmar Sir.
2- Approach:
♂ Map previous year questions to various keywords.
♂ Learn the basic timeline from 1757 onwards till 1947 and then add information on top of it. In history, events need to be studied in a single link. They are all connected.
♂ Preceding event becomes the reason and the succeeding event is the effect. Multiple readings from NCERT are enough to build this timeline.
♂ Also, study trends like developments in education, civil services, decentralization/centralization of power, etc.
♂ Comparative analysis of important events and personalities becomes important and you should put specific focus on them.
♂ As the topic is static, UPSC is kind of running out of new questions. So expect some broader level questions instead of specific ones.
♂ Don't cram years and dates. All the important ones automatically get registered with multiple revisions. Focus on developing the understanding behind the cause of any particular event or action taken by any personality.
♂ Link events in India with the developments in the world like the Impact of Russian Revolution or WW-II, etc.
♂ Study impact of British policies on Economy, Society, Culture, Polity of India.
