Sir will you make videos on second paper

[@kaarwan-e-upsc]

Yes... But I will take a break post completion of paper-1... Takes a lot of effort and man hours (~20) to cover a single lecture... So quite demanding and exhausting!!

[@khanmehtab2208]

@@kaarwan-e-upsc Sir Respect your efforts, your videos are loaded with immense knowledge though teaching attitude is very impressive thank you sir for your kind reply ❤️ love from Jammu&Kashmir.

[@kaarwan-e-upsc]

I have no experience whatsoever in this domain to give a right advice.... Choosing of a particular topic depends on what you are comfortable with and the topic chosen should be unique and interesting... However, if I were in your place, I would have went along with topics pertaining to Marx like Marx vs Hegel, Theory of surplus value or Alienation in contemporary times, Commodity Fetishism etc.... But I am not the right person here to give advice as I have no experience of this!!!

Ok sir thank you
