Political Science
 

hi,
according to most students who have a little familiarity with political science it is the best....and only sane choice for students who have little expertise in other subjetcs...the reason being that it covers one additional subject "constitutional law".so its like killing two birds with one stone :).
the political thought portion seems difficult but if you go through one good book on it you notice that it isn;t as hard to understand as its often said every philosopher is a product of his age so its easy to differentiate between them.
The second reason which compelled some students to skip political science was a myth that political science isn't a scoring subject agreed that it doesn;t give you 180 or 170 like any science or mathematics but you can score in the range of 120-140 which according to me is a sound score in css examinations....
so i would suggest that make your mind and start preparing for political science...leave rest to god

urdu as suggested by our worthy member is a good choice but the pattern has changed this year so many seasoned candidates are skipping urdu for their next attempt
regards

Well m' not the student of Political Science, but have read the [b]Muslim Political Thought[/b] by Mohd Aslam Chaudry, that's really a good book. So, i'll second Aarwa for this.

yaar...i didnt find that judd harmon book newhere....ne particular shop u guys can recommend....or ne suitable replacement for it...?
thx a bundle and best of luck!

@Araza

if u cant find jud harmon's book for western pol thought , buy any book of Western Pol thought for MA pol science. besides that [B]sages of ages[/B] is worth reading. it will help u understand the philosophies.

Regards Suresh!

1.Go for Mujahid Farooq for Western Political Thought
2. Mazhar ul Haq for "Theory & Practice"
3. Ch. M. Aslam n Imtiaz, Rosenthal n S.M.Shahid
for Muslim Political Thought.

I wonder if that suggestion for studying 4 books for Muslim Philosophy (which constitutes 2/5th of one paper) is really serious.
