The following books have absolutely no bearing on Anthropology optional preparation.
#ANTHROPOLOGY 12TH EDITION EMBER PDF HOW TO#
I learnt how to write good answers from the book Anthropology Simplified by Vivek Bhasme. Because of this time crunch, I could neither make any topic-wise notes nor opt for any test series. While preparing for CSE 2017, because of my hectic work schedule I was hard pressed to just finish the syllabus in the limited time I had.
January 2014 edition of Yojana- Tribal and Marginalized Communities.The Tribal Culture of India – LP Vidyarthi.Anthropology Simplified – Vivek Bhasme (very good source for diagrams and answer structuring).Apart from these, use online sources and newspapers to enrich your knowledge and answer content. You must go topic wise as per the syllabus and read these books to get a good grip over the subject. There is no need to read these books from end to end. These are the sources I referred to for my Anthropology optional. The second and third articles deal with topic wise detailed plan for Paper I and II respectively.
This first article primarily talks about my book list and the basic approach I followed. Note: There a total of 3 blog posts on Anthropology.
