Polity, Rights issue, Education, welfare
- For the “core” polity topics + Constitution, your first weapon of choice should be Indian Polity by M.Laxmikanth.
- The basic GK on Polity is given on chapter 1, 2 and 3 of India Yearbook.
- The list of ministries/departments given on Pg.37 of India Yearbook = important from MCQ point of view.
- I’ve combined the list of “rights issue” and allied topics of poors, women, minorities, SC, ST, OBC, Children, student PH, laborers etc. in following one article. These topics need to be studied from India 2013 (aka India yearbook)
