HAPPY  66th BIRTHDAY   INDIA –A birthday Message from Indians !!
May God bless you with Happiness and Success
Happiness- ( After all in 1750 AD you were the happiest country in the world(according to certain computations of Happiness Index in Economic History)and hopefully you would soon lead the tally of Gross Happiness Index gifted to you by your neighbor country ,Burma.
Success
Economic Success(“Reflect a bit on your glorious history-You were the  world's largest economy during the years 1 AD and 1000 AD.Your share of world income collapsed from 26.6% in 1700 then became almost equal to Europe’s share of 23.3% at that time, to as low as 3.8% in 1952. Indeed, at the beginning of the 20th Century, “the brightest jewel in the British Crown” was the poorest country in the world in terms of per capita income.”Since then , you have come a long way and   wish that you return  to 18th Century glorious days and much more in present perspective!!!!
You were considered to be the “Textile Workshop” of the world in 18th Century…You did had a comparative advantage then in textile .Today you have comparative advantage in several other realms and  wish you realize you still have that advantage…all that is needed is realizing and developing this potential .
Social and Human Development Success-You are blessed with one of the richest resources….HUMAN RESOURCES!!!!!Develop it ,appreciate it and reap the “Demographic dividend”……You are positioned very favourably vis-à-vis several “aging countries”…Use this resource as a factor to accelerate your progress !!
May  you be blessed with the courage and determination to shed away the obstacles ofEconomic Inequality (one of your mammoth challenge and a malaise Inequality in earnings has doubled in  over the last two decades, making it the worst performer on this count of all emerging economies. The top 10% of wage earners now make 12 times more than the bottom 10%, up from a ratio of six in the 1990s. …add to it consumption inequality and your Ginni Index goes haywire!!!),poverty(no doubt you have come a long way since Dadabhai Naoroji’s poverty estimate to present day tendulkar’s estimate but still house a major chunk of poor people of the world ) ,illiteracy(In spite of big strides in making many Indians literate, you also house one of the largest number of illiterates in the world…..Education is pious..a true catalyst for developing the basic intrinsic human potential and a fundamental right .You need to take literal giant strides in terms of Education quality and quantity),malnutrition ,hunger (No doubt you have moved ahead from the days of 1943 famine and severe food crisis et al..but the very fact that many Indians are denied or don’t have access to food is truly a grave concern,add to it the women anemia and malnutrition and you are sure to feel you have a mammoth human challenge ahead of you and rightly so), low HDI and many other  challenges….faceit boldly and forge ahead ….You are positioned very favourably today…..Realise this and march ahead. We Indian’s promise you we would celebrate your  birthday party today in right earnest and with excitement and true fervor and our combined birthday gift would be that that  when  dawn will break tomorrow and our flag will flutter,whatever task we are doing in the interest of the country , we pledge that we will work with full commitment and dedication ,honesty and integrity and with a sense of pride and do our bit for our India !

Strategy for Anthropology

Strategy for Anthropology Why Anthropology My interest in the subject was the most important reason for selecting Anthropology as an optional.I would request all the aspirants to choose optional based on interest as at the end of the day ,its “YOU” who has to sit with those books for long hours and in course of time have to start “living “ that optional as well.Availability of study materials and a background in biology also helped me in choosing Anthropology as my second optional. The comprehensive list of Anthropology books that I followed was Topics                                                      Books Physical Anthropology                   P.Nath/B.M Das Social Anthropology                     Ember and Ember                                                         Makhan Jha                                                         N.K Vaid                                                        D.N Majumdar & T.N Madan Indian Anthro

Strategy for General Studies General Studies is a very important paper in CSE both in Prelims and Mains. With the changing pattern of the CSE especially in the last 1-2 years , it becomes imperative for each aspirant to be very much updated with the current happenings and news apart from the conventional portion. GS can broadly be divided into two parts-Conventional portion(like History,geography, polity) and Current affairs. For Prelims, GS preparation needs to be widely extensive(i.e. one needs to know something about everything) and for Mains –GS preparation needs to be Intensive as well as understood well ( and also supported by analysis) . For GS I took study materials from Smart Foundation,Guwahati , Vision IAS ,delhi,Vajiram and Ravi(Mains course materials) and Brilliant Tutorials(for my first attempt) .This helped me to bit more systematize my preparation plan. The Comprehensive list of books/journals/newspapers and magazines that I followed for the same: CSAT (
