Pak Affairs seem to be more CA
 

It seems that FPSC has eliminated the most of the portion of the Pakistan Affair and has limited the history part. Surprisingly, the syllabus more enlightens about the current affair.

Discussion will be appreciated.

i guess now and onward whole paper discussion of pak affairs will be based on current scenarios only...and an aspirant can skip the history portion on choice..

Same is the case with I.R and CA; one can prepare it by thoroughly studying the syllabus of IR. The resulted TRIANGLE of CA, PA and I.R is very fruitful:dd

Yes, I'm really finding it easier.
Plus islamiat seems easier too

Yes it helps. If we go smartly making IR as a aid to understand topics of CA and PA.

Can you name me a best book fo IR and PA??

I am following these books for IR
1. Understanding IR it's recommended one
2. Introduction to IR Power and justice by Couloumbis and Wolf
These books cover most of topics in Paper 1. You have to search internet for paper 2.

For PA there is not a single book to cover whole syllabus. I have some material in soft copy and will share if anyone needs it.

It's worthless this time. But I noticed a strange thing in revised syllabus, they recommend the JWT magazine and book by Shamshad Sb. I think we should go for Shamshad's book.

FPSC is actually trying to shape coming CSPs into Researchers and Analysts !!! :0:0:0 During preparation now we have to analyse things by ourselves, we have to think in every corner of each topic...:thinking:thinking

Yes true. Making our opinion needs a great amount of reading.

History portion is limited but one can not ignore it. So many questions from past papers of the subject are there which can be asked in CE 16 bcz first 2 portions and No. 5.6.10.12.15.22. and 23 are related to history. In my opinion except a few additional topics previous sullybus is narrated into bullets.

Rote learning has been discouraged this time.

Yes you are right. Each and every topic has its own history, we can not skip as it looks. But now emphasize has been shifted towards contemporary issues so it is not very easy to grasp everything in one hand.

I know , knowledge of history is necessary, if one doesn't even know the names of all the generals and their action, how are they going to analyze civil military relations.
That's why I have already opted history of indopak :)

lolxxx You have to opt Indo Pak just for the sake of remembering the name of the generals we have to ruined our history. It never happen and this time specially, there is not interdependency between PA and Indo Pak

Ruined or made , we have to remember. Nations learn from history.

But I opted it because I LOVED it. :cool:

you think there's no interdependency (which doesn't seem like a real word)
BUT
Others think there IS a link. learn to accept that human beings are capable of having a difference of opinion.

Best is to go for US His. Scoring one.

Indo Pak is not one.

Gender studies is a new subject in css, you have no important topics suggestion and past papers. Instead of acting 'smart' leave this to others and next time analyze this subject in css perspective.
