Mapping Practice
From today, I will share some practice maps for you. Since many of you have entered Prelims zone, this will be a fun activity, which will keep you in touch with optional by engaging you for minimum time.
Each map will have 5 sites from the same theme/era. You are supposed to take some time, and try to identify the sites and put your answers here. The themes will start from Paleolithic.
