AoA,
I'm engineering graduate and I am going to appear in css 2017, my optionals are as follows:
IR
I.law
Environmental science
Sindhi
Us history/ Indo pak history.

I'm unable to decide whether I should go for us history or indo pak history. Though, I'm very much familiar with the later, yet I'm hesitant to opt it because: one, it is considered as a low scoring subject.
Two, as I'm opting IR and I.law so I'm told that us history would be better to be opted alongwith above mentioned subjects.
Three, indopak history is much lengthier than us history.

Considering all this, please guide me how is my overall combination? And secondly, should I go for us history or indo pak?

I'll be indebted to you for your kind advice and guidance.
Regards.

M extremely very sorry for being late in replying to your query because I often visit forum these days and that too, I normally check US History section and Leave. All praise and courtesy to Last Island who informed me about your post.

Coming back to your query,

No subject is low/High scoring until and unless u are not well prepared, both the subjects are equally good and have their own pros and cons as I have studies both. I can say that US History is a bit short in Syllabus while Indian History is more ov more interesting subject.

If you are opting Intl. Law and I.R, then I think US History can be a good choice as it will definitely help you in the said subjects as well. My Advise, go for subject which you can find material easily to prepare. go through the past papers of both subjects if you have time and then decide.

If you ask me personally I would recommend you American History

Thank you sir for your guidance.
I'm going with the popular vote; Us history alongwith IR and I.law. I've gone through your posts in us history section. You have recommended "a people's history of us" by Howard Zinn. If you have that book in soft copy kindly inbox me. I've already got your notes couple of days ago and found them very helpful.

Regards
