hey guys plz take some initiative make changes appropriately to the lists attached... add and delete topics accordingly start new threads for important topics..i.e. GS 1, GS 2, GS 3, GS 4 i m not doing it because i m too lazy I-) ... actually i cant sit on computer for long hours
I think at some point, maybe starting in October , we should attempt to make questions on the listed topics. That way, if people like to, they can discuss possible answers on other threads.
>Suspended Animation (Delhi Legislature); Invitation to form government >Office of the Speaker, appointment, impartiality etc.
I'm trying to mention points as I come across them while studying polity. If anyone can, please collate them. Or if @root can allow the creation of a single real time list that can be updated as and when possible, that would be really nice.
For paper 2 and paper 3 you can refer to crazyphoton's notes (Rank 1) - He has consolidated ARC reports nicely. For paper IV you can read the full report.
