Dear students
there is something very interesting about Diwali that I wanted to share with you…
On the one hand, for many Hindus, diwali marks the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after 14 years of vanvas... for Jains, on the other hand, the same day marks the attainment of Kaivalya/nirvana by lord Mahavira….
The Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas to commemorate guru Hargobind’s return to golden temple following his release from Gwalior fort during Jahangir’s reign, whereas the Buddhists associate this period with emperor Ashoka’s embrace of Buddhism….
It shows that don’t always need to believe in the same things to celebrate together…festivals bring us all together & remind us that diversity and togetherness can go hand in hand.
Wish you all a very happy Diwali.. may the festival bring fresh energy for the journey ahead.. 🪔🧨♥️

Dear students and anonymous ‘evaluators’
A student of Physics comfortably uses concepts such as latent heat, gravity, kinetic energy and potential energy without mentioning names like Black, Newton, Leibniz and Rankine, respectively.
A student of Economics uses concepts such as demographic dividend, labour force participation rate, demand and supply, and the crowding-out effect without feeling the need to mention Bloom, Mincer, Alfred Marshall and Keynes, respectively.
But something strange happens when the same student takes Sociology as an optional subject ..
Suddenly, every concept like politicisation of caste, cultural diffusion or commercialisation of intimacy, needs a sociologist’s name attached to it as if a sociological argument is incomplete without one.
Why this sudden obsession with names in sociology ?
Imagine an evaluator deducting marks in Economics because a student explained demand and supply without mentioning Alfred Marshall. Or asking a Physics student to mention Joseph Black every time they explain latent heat.
It would be ridiculous. Yet, somehow, we have normalised precisely this practice in Sociology.
Unfortunately , evaluators are not teaching students to think sociologically. They are training them to play a strange game of Name the Sociologist.
And perhaps the greatest irony is that a student who understands a concept but forgets the sociologist’s name may end up receiving fewer marks than one who remembers the name but barely understands the concept.
Dear evaluators, an answer does not become more sociological simply because it contains more sociologists…
There is a fundamental difference between using a sociological concept and explaining a sociologist’s contribution. The former does not always require the latter.

In one of my recent student meet-ups, I casually asked a student:
“What source have you referred to?”
“Sir, topper notes.”
“Okay, apart from that?”
“Bas sir, wahi.”
It reminded me of our college days. Exam was three days away, syllabus untouched, and we would somehow arrange the batch topper’s notes and prepare enough to pass.
We knew the deal. The topper might get 80/100. We were happy with 55–60.
We never really expected to score more than the person whose notes we were borrowing. And usually, we didn’t.
But that was fine. The aim was to get the degree.
Here, we are not trying to somehow pass an exam. We are trying to build a career. If you rely on a topper’s notes and expect to become the next topper, there is a basic contradiction here. The topper whose notes you are reading did not rely on ready made topper notes.
He/she made their own. He referred standard books & material. struggled. Googled. Edited. Revised. Performed poorly in tests. Unlearned. Relearned. Developed insights. Remade the notes. He went through a process.
What makes a person successful is not the position that he holds, but the process that he follows. You may have referred toppers notes, but did you refer the process ?
The last stage of someone else’s preparation cannot be the first stage of yours.
Those whose earlier transaction failed may try this one.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Guys, sharing this for Dhondiram Tone, one of our students from Sociology Foundation batch, who urgently needs an aortic bypass surgery.
His family is currently trying to raise ₹6 lakh for the surgery and hospitalisation. We are a fairly large community here, and even small contributions from many of us can collectively make a real difference.
If you are in a position to contribute, please do. No amount is too small. If you cannot contribute financially, sharing this with others would also help…
Let’s help one of our own 🙏🏻

Sociology Optional Foundation – Paper II 2027
Enrollment Link: https://www.levelupias.com/courses/upsc-cse-sociology-optional-foundation-paper-ii/
Paper II often feels familiar.
“I’ve already studied caste, family, religion and social issues in GS. I just need to add Current Affairs.”
That is where many students go wrong.
Paper II is about understanding how Sociology explains these familiar issues.
This course builds that clarity through core perspectives, PYQs and answer writing.
Same issues. A sociological way of understanding them.
📅 Starts 11th September 2026

Hello students
Every year, we share our take on the questions that are relatively static and safer to attempt in the Sociology Mains paper.
This year too, a few questions clearly stand out on these parameters.
For Paper I, our picks would be Q2, Q3 and Q6 ✅
