ability to analyze, and take a view on conflicting socioeconomic goals, objectives and demands.The candidates must give relevant, meaningful and succinct answers.

This sentence is the guiding light for your preparation. You dont have to master the topics, all

you need is BASIC UNDERSTANDING and the ability to analyze.

Basic understanding comes from reading and re-reading. Ability to analyze what you have

understood from reading comes from WRITING PRACTICE.

Two important things fundamental to your exam preparation:

Get familiar with all the topics and sub-topics by writing them many timesthey

should be strongly etched in your memory.

Keep a copy of the syllabus always near you no matter where you are.

Governance,Constitution,Polity, Social Justice and International relations.

Before you start preparing for this paper, please read following NCERT texts, which might take2-3 days of your time.

1.

NCERT Class XIIndia Constitution At Work2. NCERT Class XII Political Science II

3. NCERT Class X Democratic Politics

TOPIC-1

Indian Constitution- historical underpinnings, evolution, features, amendments, significant

provisions and basic structure.

This part is very useful both for Prelims and Mains. Best book to study this section is D.D.

BasusIntroduction To The Constitution Of IndiaFirst 5 chaptersin this book exclusively

deal with this part of the syllabus.

For Basic Structure, These two articles might help you.

1)Basic Structure of the constitution revisited - The Hindu (PDF)

2)The Basic Structure of the constitution (PDF)

TOPIC-2

Functions and responsibilities of the Union and the States, issues and challenges pertaining to

the federal structure,devolution of powers and finances up to local levels andchallengestherein.

One good source to get the critical perspective about these topics isReport of the 2ndAdministrative Reforms Commission, named -Organizational Structure Of Government of

India (13th Report)

For devolution of finances to local bodies,Read This..(Dont look anywhere else)

For the concept part read -Laxmikants Indian Polity. Buy the new updated 4th

edition. (Chapters 12, 13 14 and 30).

But Mains demands not only basic understanding of these topics, but your critical and analytic

abilities to answer questions on these topics. So, try to relate these concepts to current event

topics and write small articles. ARC reports will help you in this regard.

Eg. Though devolution of funds, functionaries and functions is taking place in the local

governments, development is still a mirage in many parts of India. Critically analyze. (you canframe many questions like this)

TOPIC-3

Separation of powers between various organs,dispute redressal mechanisms and institutions.

BASICS:Public Grievances and Redressal Mechanism

This topic is a dynamic portionwe read lot about conflict between the Judiciary and the

Executiveto answer dynamic topics, one should first understand the constitutional provisions,redressal measures with the constitution, checks and balances provided in the constitution etc.

ARC reports come to the rescue again. 7th reportof 2nd ARC namedCapacity Building forConflict Resolution talks elaborately on various issues such as Left Wing Extremism, Regional

Disparities, Land and Water related issues, SC and ST issues, Religious conflicts and North East

conflictswhich involve numerous institutions in the conflict management and resolution.

Later, scan current events and find any latest instances of conflict between any constitutional

bodies, or between a constitutional body and statutory body.

Again, concepts can be studied either fromD.D. Basu orLaxmikat..

TOPIC-4

Comparison of the Indianconstitutional scheme with that of other countries

A book by S. ChandSelect Constitutions of the world is famous among Law students. Thiscovers this topic comprehensively. One should be careful to not to study this topic in depth.

In case you can afford to buy costly book - D.D. Basus Classic on the Indian Constitution Shorter Constitution Of India not only covers all above topics, it also covers the present topic.

Few links that might help:

Constitutions around the world

Evolution of Indian Constitution (It is compared with other constitutionsyou have to

search in between)

Difference between US and EU constitutions.

Try to know some basics about the New Constitutions/reforms being framed/brought out in

Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Pakistan.

(Again, emphasis should be on relating all these topics to the current events)

TOPIC-5

Parliament and State Legislaturesstructure, functioning, conduct of business, powers &privileges and issues arising out of these.

4/10

To cover this topic, one stop source is Subhash KashypsOur Parliament. (Why this book?

Because it is written by someone who worked inside the Parliament for most of his career, and

this book gives a detailed idea about the functioning of our Parliamentas the above topicsuggests, you should be familiar with all aspects of our Parliament. This books is cheap, and is

highly readable with lot of insights)

TOPIC-6

Structure, organization and functioning of the Executive and the Judiciary;Ministries andDepartments of the Government;Pressure Groups and formal/informal associations and their

role in the Polity.

BASICS:

Union Executive

Parliament of India

Supreme Court of India Executive in the States

State Legislature

High Courts and Subordinate Courts

Local Government:Urban and Rural

Pressure Groups

Again,Laxmikant is enough for this topic. Regarding pressure groups/ informal associationsrecent activism shown by Civil society, conflict with the government and other such topics

should be studied in depth.

TOPIC-7

Salient features of theRepresentation of Peoples Act.

First read this beautifularticle by Yogendra Yadav. (PDF)

This topic has generated more heat in the past and presenteg, office of profit bill, anti-defection

bill, electoral reforms bill etc.

. Statutory, regulatory and various quasi-judicial bodies

ReadLaxmikant for this part. Part VII,VIII and IXof this book completely covers these topics.

in the appointment to various constitutional posts and statutory bodies. Eg EC, CBI, CVC, CAG,SC, Governors, Lokayukta, Lokpal (if it comes into existence) etc. So, read this topic keeping in

mind these above issues.

As I said before, you need to read all the above topics with an analytical perspective. To provide

you with this, there is a wonderful book published by Oxford University Press and authored byPratap Bhanu Mehta, namedPublic Institutions in IndiaPerformance and Design, will beimmensely useful.

democratic polity. That is what you need for this paper.

TOPIC-10

of their design and implementation.

2)Working a Democratic Constitution: A History of the Indian Experience -Review

A SMALL LECTURE

Until now we saw what books to read. Now the question is how to remember most of the thingswe read and how to translate them into better answers.

A common mistake most of the aspirants commit is reading so many books for a singletopic.This mistake costs both your time and ability to remember things clearly and

concisely.

Stick to a single source and read it again and again. Remember The Same Source. Avoidthe temptation of doing Research on a topic.

Always RememberUPSC tests Basic Understanding. Not mastery over a topic.

Make short notes on each topic. It is while making notes that readers tend to doRESEARCH and scout various sources. Stick to one book even if you are not 100%

satisfied with it.

Remember that old saying?Jack of all trades, master of NONE. If you try to do

Research, most probably your name wont appear in the Final List. I guarantee it.

For Paper-II (i.e GS-1) being thorough with Current Events plays a crucial role inenabling you to acquire analytical skills.

Very Important Part In The Preparation

Writing. Writing. Writing.

But what?One must practice answer writing to Previous year questions, or take a Mock

Test. Whatever, before you enter examination hall, you must have spent lot of time on

answer writing.

Most Important Part In The Preparation

Revision. Revision. Re-Revision.

You do this and you appear for the Personality Test.

If you dont Revise what you read all these monthsyou slightly miss the PersonalityTest, or You narrowly miss appearing in the Final List.
