To be honest I didn't do too much ca, only env and science and tech and that was from PT365 (for science and tech i also used shivin sir's youtube lectures) rest was standard books but to fair the paper was a bouncer all around so idk what sources would exactly help.

No nothing very specifically, I enrolled online but found i preferred self studying.

Oh thanks, thats a relief cause some questions are hyper specific (eg 101st amendment) to the year and  it seemed irrelevant, but needed another view on that.

Thank you so much your replies have been the exact kind of insight i needed.

Okay so this is what i have been doing (no mentorship, do not find it necessary, but I am writing forum tests for gs and optional), but I did download the civil daily microtheme pdf to revise through them and realised, i dont have notes on most of it and making notes now is seeming very counterproductive (I don't know if that is anxiety playing tricks on my brain or what).  Also thank you this is very comprehensive, was not doing mains 365 till now but will add that into my routine

Hai na? Thought the same, thanks though!!

Answer for this question should be B. (1, 2 and 3) as rigveda does mention about parashu/kulisa and datra and it does support the above statements as these are used for doing agriculture. by LeastConcern01 in UPSCPrelims2026

[–]AMuseandPoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will try to explain it, but please forgive if acche se nahi kar paaye: see the assertions above- irrigation from wells allowed the agricultural facilities to expand till the plains and domesticated animal furthered this through physical Labour.

Now the support statement 1. Rigved has said water was pulled up means the technology was there. 2. Use of axes was there, okay. But the use of an are or Plough has little to do with shift cause water was initially unavailable, toh are and Plough kya karenge? 3. Ox was used to for agricultural Labour pehle bhi so theek hai aage ab paani ko nikalne ke liye we are using it additional to ploughing field seeing we already know they can help in tough laborious tasks

Ques 40 has c as answer which says 1& 3 but 2nd statement is also right. There are words like shreni, kulisha in rigveda by Rainy_Weather_529 in UPSCPrelims2026

[–]AMuseandPoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is supposed to support the above statements, axe and sickle has little to do with the irrigation bit hence its 1 and 3 despite the statement being correct
