Struggling with Laxmikanth’s Indian Polity? I Found A Better Way.
I have been preparing for some time, i gave the prelims this year, now preparing for mains, this year, and I have read Indian Polity by Laxmikant, but there is a problem—it's very long and sometimes, the laws and constitutional articles related to the topic aren't mentioned alongside the text; instead, they're just at the end. This creates a lot of confusion.
When I go online, it’s a struggle to gather everything from different websites and then add it somewhere safe so I can refer back to it easily. Plus, every other website seems to be trying to sell something or is full of annoying ads. It’s really hard to find reliable information.
But I decided to do something about it. I wrote notes, found the relevant laws and constitutional articles for each chapter, and put it all in one place.
So, here I would like to share it with everyone. I put it on my website where you can read it for free—no paywall, nothing. Everything is available for you all.
One more reason I’m sharing this with you all is because you can tell me what else I can add to make it better and help spread knowledge.
I’m tired of these websites asking for money just to provide information, so I wrote all of it myself.
I have also put everything in order, so others can study from it. From this i can tell you that, you can study from this or choose to study from Indian Polity, but polity is bit better, i have tried to cover every single topic, but the judgement part of book is still not covered. I am writing about, it, so it should be available soon.
Also a small message: these blogs are hosted on single AWS lightsail instance, the smallest one, so for some it can take time to load.
