■ TIDAL BORES
#Oceanography #oceantides
◇ When tide water enters the coastal river with high tidal range, the seaward flow of the river obstructs the incoming tide, with the result the front of tidal wave crest is forced to assume high tidal range. Thus, the tidal wave with steep tidal wall of more than 5 m in height rushes upstream or up bay. This wall-like high tidal waves are called tidal bores which move upstream with average speed of 20-22 kilometres per hour.
□ The following conditions are conducive for the occurrence of tidal bore: -
◇ Narrow and low-lying coastal river with gentle channel gradient,
◇ A bay with narrow opening and tapering head,
◇ Large tidal range (wave height), usually more than 5 meters,
◇ Upward decreasing water depth, meaning thereby decreasing depth of water in upriver section, etc.
■ EMERGENCY PROVISIONS
#salientfeaturesofconstitution
◇ The Indian Constitution contains elaborate emergency provisions to enable the President to meet any extraordinary situation effectively.
◇ The rationality behind the
incorporation of these provisions is to safeguard the sovereignty, unity, integrity and security of the country, the democratic political system and the Constitution.
□ The Constitution envisages three types of emergencies, namely :-
• National emergency on the ground of war or external aggression or armed rebellion (Article 352);
• State emergency (President’s Rule) on the ground of failure of Constitutional machinery in the states (Article 356) or
failure to comply with the directions of the Centre (Article 365); and
• Financial emergency on the ground of threat to the financial stability or credit of India (Article 360).

Shreyans Kumat Notes and Strategy UPSC:
Ancient and Medieval + Art & Culture
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. Low level of cost benefit/input output ratio. But as it is a competitive exam, selective and effective study is preferred.
2. Sources I had used:
- Tamil Nadu XI NCERT
- Jain Sir Notes (Vajiram)
- Fine Arts NCERT
- GK Today Notes (Selective for Literature, Music, Dance etc.)
- ExamRobot for previous year questions
- Vajiram old yellow book (only some important pages)
3. Approach:
- Multiple revisions of TN NCERT, Fine Arts NCERT and Jain Sir Notes to memorize
- Made different documents like Ancient History Timeline, Maps (uploaded above) to aid in memory
- Used to write difficult words in Devnagri Hindi for better retention
- Used PYQP to identify prominent topics - like Bhakti-Sufi, Jainism-Buddhism etc.
- Analysis of options asked in PYQs for better coverage
- Used ExamRobot to identify other questions asked in those prominent topics in other UPSC exams.
4. Test Series:
- Sectional Tests of Vajiram and Vision
5. One of the most difficult portions for me as it required lot of sequences, dates, names etc. to be memorized. Took me multiple revisions but I still wasn't confident till the end. But these revisions did help in elimination of options in the final exam and I was able to do most of them correct.
6. As it is purely memory based topic, discussion and storytelling of timeline with friends can help in better retention.
7. Also, watched YouTube videos for dances, referred to Images of artifacts and visited National Museum in Delhi - were some of the efforts to aid my memory.
Shreyans Kumat Notes and Strategy UPSC:

Shreyans Kumat Notes and Strategy UPSC:
Polity and IR
----------------------
1. Very important subject - attracts many crucial and interesting questions every year
2. Sources I had used:
- Laxmikant Latest Edition
- Ravindran Sir, Gautam Sir, Abhilash Sir, Abhey Sir, Iqbal Sir, Pavneet Sir Notes (Vajiram)
- Constitution Mobile App
- Bare Constitution Book
- Vision IAS Monthly for Polity and IR Current Affairs
- IAS Parliament for International Organisations
- Prslegislature website to fill gaps
3. Approach:
- Multiple readings of Laxmikant (almost whole book is notes, was futile to make notes out of it) and Class notes
- Had made notes for Constitutional and Non-Constitutional bodies (shared above) which were at the end of Laxmikant
- For Polity, Original Constitution and SC judgements were the go to guides for any final interpretation
- For Prelims, FR, FD, DPSP and basic terms were really important. Discussion and Analysis with friends used to help
- Current Affairs were also very important for both Polity and IR .Monthly magazines and compilations used to help a lot
4. Test Series:
- Sectional Tests of Vajiram and Vision
- PYQs from last 5 yrs UPSC Papers
5. Basic conceptual understanding is crucial for polity which develops from multiple readings. Questions in prelims majorly tries to confuse on that front. Post mock test analysis and discussion with friends aids to the understanding.
Shreyans Kumat Notes and Strategy UPSC:

- Supplemented information from the Vajiram yellow book into Parmar Sir Vajiram notes
- Created Governor/Viceroy wise event list (as shown in sample notes) to easily revise and remember them
- Used Spectrum tables as the source of factual information not yet covered
4. Test Series for Modern History
- Sectional Tests of Vision and Vajiram
- PYQs from last 5 yrs UPSC papers
5. Modern History has a lot of things to remember. Discussion of storyline and questions with friends helped me a lot in getting confidence in the subject.
