GS 1 Strategy, Booklist [Already Explained]

Please give me your feedback regarding the below analysis. 

  • Easy to follow
  • Tough to follow
  • Utter waste
  • Very Useful
  • I haven’t recommended NCERT’s because they are boring and time consuming. Instead, go for Mrunal.org  to build up base. During Prelims, for definitions etc., you can go for NCERT.
  • Indian Economy by Sanjiv Verma is a very small (250 pages only) but invaluable book. For those who find Economy tough, it's a must have.
  • Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh is a Bulky (700+ pages) but invaluable book [5th edition available on net]. Contains lot of Statistics which are not important. [Need to be extremely choosy. If you don't be choosy, you will end up wasting months]
