Indopak history tips

1.I've read lot of books in Indo Pak history mainly from Quaid e Azam Public library
but for general guidance 3 books are good:
INDO PAK HISTORY BY TARIQ ALI AWAN
INDO PAK HISTORY BY K ALI
GREAT MUGHALS BY KEANE

1:K Ali
2:Tariq Awan(by feroze sons)
3:Sohail Bhatti
but plz dont rely on them and make ur own good notes.For making notes on Babar I
had to read Tuzk-e-Babri too
2:Use quotations of important Historian(you can find quotes even In K Ali)like
Elphinstone in your question.
3:In almost every question which I attempted I drew maps of subcontinent and
indicated the relevant king's battles on that map.
4. Dont forget to write critical analysis at the end
For current affairs read some good columnists for example in Dawn read Tariq
Fatemi,Sultan Khan in Nation Shamshad Ali Khan in News Shirin Mazari ,Ayaz
Amir,Farrukh Saleem in daily Times read Hasan Askari Rizvi and Ejaz Haider(u can
find these papers online)
for Essay paper I first wrote the outline then introduction then body and in the end
conclusion.In outline I presented summary of the whole essay in point form.I gave
quotations and cited paragraphs in my essay .
For Islamiat question:The length of my answer is about 4-7 pages and I quoted in
Arabic.
For Pak Affairs:IH Qureshi book is good.You can memorize some paragraphs from
there and book of pak affairs by Star book depot is also helpful.I also quoted from
some other books in Quaid e Azam library Pak history section.Ikram Rabbani is
another book I'd recommend .

Conclusion
Well my studying time varied from day to day.On average I studied 7-8 hours daily.
For essay I'd recommend you to choose an essay topic on the current affairs. Every year
there are at least 2 or 3 topics relating to current affairs in essay paper. Try to print out
articles from different newspapers websites (nation,dawn,news and daily times), file
them and arrange them by topics. Then make a note on which topics articles are being
wtitten frequently those would be important
Make an outline before writing your essay. Divide it into paragraphs and cite quotations.
