To prepare the History section of the UPSC syllabus, candidates can utilize a variety of resources. Standard textbooks, such as those by Rajiv Ahir and R.S. Sharma, provide foundational knowledge. Online platforms and lecture series, including YouTube, offer audiovisual material that can enhance understanding. For current affairs, reference material from government schemes and academic journals is useful. Moreover, solving previous years’ questions and participating in group discussions can solidify knowledge while improving retention and analytical skills.
