Synopsis: It is with immense pleasure that we bring out the second edition of this book. In view of the tremendous response that the first edition received, it is only natural that we have come up with the second edition. For the still uninitiated, this book helps civil services aspirants prepare for General Studies - Paper IV. This paper was first introduced in Civil Services Main examination in the year 2013. Introduction of this paper took the whole context of UPSC Main Examination to a new level. With the introduction of this paper, a civil services aspirant is examined for having the right attitude — and not mere right aptitude. Attitude is what makes one's character and aptitude is part of one's personality. Taking into consideration the pattern of questions in the 2013 Main GS Paper IV, we have made several changes in this edition of this book. These have been made with the primary aim of making the concepts understandable for the student, so that a student can incorporate them while answering the Paper IV questions. In this edition, we have added sample case studies at the end of each topic to bring in more clarity to the terms and terminologies discussed in that Unit.
