3. Specific materials are recommended for each section, such as books by Vaid, Das, and Singh for physical anthropology and fossil evidence. Online sources and lecture notes are also suggested for some topics.

Vaid's Printed Material + 2 of his books might be a supplement to Braintree
2. Singh and Sahay -- but no clue how to get it 3. Liberal use of diagrams is a plus - we will try to collaborate as diagrams given in P Nath , Das are quite few and we have to rely online My Strategy Make a notebook of about 100 pages divide syllabus of each section in 10 to 12 parts each note down one topic (may be 5 to 6 lines) then write down all the question asked since 2005 complete this excercise for all topics My strict advice please dont take xerox do it yourself Now take one section from each paper which you find intresting and start reading good books and material (disscussed in detail later) make short notes of each topic . Notes must be concise crisp. Each topic should be covered in 100 to 150 words. Remember these notes are useful for only for the person who had made it. So dont ask others for their notes as notes are only pointer to the information we read in books and materials. MATERIALS take Brain tree(BT) and Vaid sir (VS) material we are not suppose to go through entire material so dont worry they r for ready refrence PHSICAL ANTHRO P Nath - some topics are real crap avoid them - must buy Das - few topics r realy good - desirable VS notes by n large better than BT for this section So for every topic in this section first go through P Nath and VS thoroughly. VS is full of factual info then give a glance to Das If u find something substancial then add it. Now make notes and mug it up. If a question is coming then idealy one should recall entire 100 words of thenotes but even if u can recollect 60% then also wewill get 50% marks FOSSIL EVIDENCE S Das Xerox of one booklet (40 - 50 pages) in VS - must - summary of each fossil with evolution tree and proper easily reproducable digrams are given. Here no need to make seprate notes for most of topics just enrich this booklet with information you get from other sources THEORIES VISIT http://anthropology.ua.edu/cultures/cultures.php and if you can arrange class notes of vaid sir class where an Oriya teacher from Lucknow university teach this section Better if you take one theory at a time make notes from both of above sources and memorise them on same day It will take2 hours daily for ten days and believe me you wont require anything else Remaining portion I will write in next section after one week as I have to leave early morning
tomorrow for my home town
Hope that by then you will atleast do the first part of syllabus n questions Part 2 Socio cultural anthropology : Introduction to sociocultural anthropology by Dr N K Vaid recently revised, Palka publications Book is good (I ve read old one) whatever topics are covered are very good. Old book is like notes. No need for making separate notes. BT notes are good and ons foe topics not covered in the book. Some topics are good in ember n ember (eg segmental lineage, chart for band vs tribes vs.... ) If we have time then for this section EnE can be referred. I didn't find EnE imp for any other section. INDIAN ANTHROPOLOGY Books: Singh n Sahay must Nadeem Hasnani equally important. usually no need to refer notes for this section. For topics like ST SC OBC their backwardness and welfare newspapers are imp and 12th FYP relevant chapter is must. ARCHEOLOGY : usually book mentioned in above section covers this section also but book by Bhattacharya can be referred. Archeology and Theories are the core of Anthropology and I personally believe (no insider info ) that if attempted questions of this section fetch more marks and creates good impression. Here we must make notes of sites, Indian archaeologist associated with them. TRIBALS: Guys this is my weak area I will be working on this area this year. For basics we must know the various tribes of various regions, their special traditions, diseases prevalent in them, their socio economic status, problems of tribes in general with latest concrete data. Any new policy affecting or for tribes must be thoroughly prepared. Here I think net is more important than any book or notes
