I will try and share anything and every thing that may benefit you out of those compiled notes.

In Current Affairs there is nothing like important/expected question. you have to be very good in this subject, if you want to score good. So instead of relying on various list uploaded and updated by various internet user try and go through all the important topic, starting from World Wars to US Exit Afghan Policy.

Always Remember, That everything is very important in CA. So merge all those list in one and then go through all the topics in that list.
