Mrunal Edit:
Entire syllabus of Anthropology can be seen on the Page 8 of UPSC 2012 Notification (Click me to download PDF). IGNOU also run M.A. in Anthropology but unfortunately it seems theyve not uploaded the PDF material on www.egyankosh.ac.in, as they did with History, Sociology and Public Administration.
Useful books
1. P.Nath(pref erred) /das f or physical anthropology.Nath is very usef ul f or misc topics also 2. Social anthropology by majumdar/madan 3. Makhan jhas book of anthropology theories 4. Indian anthropology by R.N. Sharma 5. Indian anthropology by Nadeem Hasnan
When you come across a case study, note it down as use it at appropriate topics where you are expected to explain the concept Practice diagrams f or physical part, diagrams will ultimately f etch us more marks Do not ignore theories part ,selective study is always dangerous Try to make good notes f or theories and misc part as good material is not available in market. Keep updating the latest trends and developments in anthropology f rom newspaper/magazines and internet
