HOW TO READ THE HINDU ANALYSIS TODAY

Current affairs have an essential role in UPSC-CSE preparation. In this regard Newspapers, especially The Hindu have a central role during preparation as opinion-based questions increased in recent years.

It enhances the overall aspirant’s capability of thinking about different issues with a multidirectional approach. This holistic approach is also get reflected in solving case studies of ethics paper, essay writing, and interview stage.

  • Analyse the Previous Years Question Paper.
  • Identify the topics relevant to the syllabus.
  • Time of reading newspapers should not exceed two hours.

An important topic to focus on Hindu editorial-

  • Topics related to Government functioning, constitution, amendment, election reforms, parliamentary session, economic planning etc.

  • Focus on international relations- India’s bilateral relation with counties and role in WTO, IMF, UNO, WORLD BANK etc.

Notes Making-
