Book Description
Preparation for Sociology Optional Paper II for UPSC CSE can be really challenging. While resources for Paper I are still available, getting good quality study material for Paper II remains difficult.
Students often have to rely on photocopies or online notes that are often of poor quality and lacking the in depth fundamental theoretical knowledge required to solve the application style questions that UPSC asks. As a result students often write general GS style answers that fail to fetch marks in the Sociology Optional.
With this reality in mind, we at Keola, have created the Textbook for Sociology Paper II so that you don’t have to waste time searching for sources to study
In this book we cover the entire UPSC syllabus as dedicated units and each syllabus point is treated as a chapter so that the entire syllabus is covered in depth, in a reader friendly way that assumes that you have no background in sociology and are a complete beginner
