Many aspirants are doing self-preparation and are looking for definite sources of world history. I have also seen that not all Foundation courses cover all aspects of World History comprehensively and focus more on European History than other parts of the syllabus.

Here is one note prepared by me a few years ago which will help identify correct source for every chapter of the World History Syllabus.

Just watched the movie.

The tension of the world war, and the tension between global scientific community on one hand and nation-state on the other: both are shown very effectively. We don't bother much about history of science in India. We should take it more seriously than we do now.

However, this movie is less about the atom bomb and more about the ethics of deadly technology that the scientists deal with... it is also about emotional coping of a sensitive person who created a monster due to situational needs... moreover, it is also about ugly politics of extreme nationalism, which devours its own heroes.

These three things form a the major themes while atom bomb recedes into a backdrop.

IMAX camera is used not only to deliver the fantastic rendition of Trinity test which shows the inside of the explosion, but also to give close-ups of Oppenheimer's face, which shows us inside of his mind. It is a must watch.

Hello,

This is the handout on Colonisation and Imperialism from the class. Although the questions are asked every year, the topic is not available at one place properly and this should solve the problem substantially.

UPSC PYQ: Trace the significant role played by Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam’s struggle for freedom. [2016, 10 Marks]

In this context, I found this paragraph in a biography of Ho Chi Minh. It is not directly relevant but such insightful understanding is sometimes helpful in framing good Intros/Conclusions.
