IAS Prelims 2014: How to prepare Indian National Movement



         The Indian National Movement is a part of the Modern Indian History which broadly refers to the post-Mughal period. Indian National Movement usually refers to the period after the revolt of 1857 till the independence. This Modern Indian History, with special focus on Indian National Movement, is highly important for the exam as around 8-10 questions are asked from this section every year.
The candidates must underline and jot down the important points and make their own notes. Incorporating pictorial presentations in the notes like tables and flowcharts makes it interesting to revise the topics and help in remembering the points better. This would also facilitate easy and quick revision before the exam.
Focus areas:
The candidates should keep their focus on the following areas which are frequently asked in the Prelims exam:
•    British era policies and Administrative system including Land Revenue system and Social system.
•    Important British Governor-generals and their policies
•    Various armed rebellions, Peasant movements, Women’s movements, Tribal uprisings
•    Socio-religious reformers and their reform movements like Raja Ram Mohun Roy and Brahmo Samaj, Swami Vivekanand and R K Mission, Dayanand Saraswati and Arya Samaj
•    Indian National Congress and its important sessions
•    British era conferences, committees and legislations
•    Prominent freedom fighters and their contributions to the Indian Independence movement, with special focus on Mahatma Gandhi.
All these questions can be tackled with a thorough understanding of the subject. From the past few years, the trend of the History questions has changed from fact-oriented to more analytical and logical type of questions. This has made it both easy and difficult for the candidates. A deeper understanding of the subject rather than just mugging up points is required for tackling the questions in the Prelims exam.
