6. Chapter 5: Cultural Transitions: Images from Texts and Archaeology, c. 2000–600 BCE
This 74 pages chapter is not an easy nut to crack because of its subjectivity, debates on Aryan invasion theory, status of women, usage of iron etc. Except in 2017, in last 5 years, UPSC barely framed a Q on this theme. Not needed though, at least in Prelims. Things are not too much from Prelims viewpoint, but still we will see all relevant facts which are purely objective in nature, keeping aside those facts, on which there is no consensus even today.
