Dear Candidates, The aim of compiling 'Concept Capsule: Indian History' has been to provide authentic and detailed reading on history for civil service aspirants. On one hand, the nature and standard of Prelims question paper demands deeper analysis with vast knowledge of history, on the other hand, a visible gap can be observed between available readings and the actual question paper. Keeping this challenge in mind, I have compiled this book. It contains detailed informations on Indian history. The content of this book is based on the knowledge of change which further enhances analytical understanding of history among aspirants. This pattern will help them to gain integrated knowledge of concept and information. In this book, every chapter has a set of 20 model questions including previous year questions. Further, for more practice, you can also refer to 'Prelims Booster'. Although, I have given priority to the UPSC Civil Service Exam, but seeing the changing pattern of State PCS examinations, it will play a key role in cracking these competitive exams. Best of Luck, Manikant Singh Director 'The Study'
