Syllabus for Social and Political Ideas in Maharashtra
Part of this reading list is printed in Devanagari, which the University's own PDF does not release as reliable text. Those entries are not set here; they are in the document above, as she printed them. The University sets this paper under Scheme III only, so your college may not run it.
Practise with the Semester 3 past papers. Papers in the subject folders were set on this syllabus. The year folders hold older papers, so check each topic against this one.
