I've read some of books that I think are quite useful and nurture your reading habit at the same time - 1. The cases that India forgot by Chintan Chandrachud 2. The case that shook India by Prashant Bhushan 3. Poor economics by Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo 4. The golden road by William Dalrymple

For UPSC, yeah you can rely on Romila Thapar and Guha. But for the sake of information, these two are extremely biased and don’t even consider their books for using as toilet papers…

@@IASStudy-xu2ye Romila thapar, tharoor and Ramchandra Guha provide extremely biased views. Romia was even taken to court for this. Their views are propaganda unfortunately. If you read them make it a point to know other side of story too, because half knowledge is poisonous
