Question Question.

Dear Seniors.
I have a big confusion that an answer of single question should be consist on how many page's? As there we have to attempt 4 to 5 questions in every paper & approximately we have 30 to 35 min's for each.
Questions of Pakistan Affairs i.e. Allahabad Address, Pakistan Resolution, Two Nation Theory, Bengal Partition etc have lengthy material & every topic have following points namely (intro, background, importance, address's, events of the topic, reaction, quotation's, conclusion). So how one can summarize such as lengthy topic on 3 to 4 pages....?
PLzz Seniors guide me.

Just answer the question asked. The questions aren't very general, so only write those points relating to the question. Don't write everything on the topic you know.

Of course you have prepare the whole topic. The more you know the better in the case of css. Here is a question from this year's paper: "It was over-reaction of Hindus to the partition of the Bengal in 1905 that widened the gulf between Muslims and Hindus"

It is asking for a specific type of background: Hindu over-reaction - so you will try to explain Hindu's reaction before and after, and whether you would class it as an over-reaction or just an extension of their previous reaction. And you will also talk about the gulf between Hindu-Muslim. Whether it existed before, examples, reasons. Whether the partition of Bengal caused the rift between them, or if the rift was already there whether it magnified it.

So in this question you won't write everything you know about the Partition of Bengal you will write everything which will answer the question. You need to have your own point of view. Remember Pak Affairs is a history subject (majority), and history subjects are full of different commentaries. Each fact can represent a different picture for different historians.

That varies from question to question and person to person (w.r.t. handwriting). If you have included all the information that is needed from you, even 2 pages would suffice but if you are just beating about the bush then no matter how lengthy your answer is, you won't score good.

Number of pages doesn't count much. What matters most are the quality, relevancy and entirety of your answer.

If the question demands some historical background then you must include it. It depends on the nature of question and your analytical skills as you are the one who has to decide which part is important and which is not.
