How toppers play this section
Post-independence consolidation (princely-state integration, linguistic reorganisation, early economic planning, the evolution of India's party system) is frequently under-prepared relative to its yield, precisely because it sits awkwardly between 'history' and 'current governance' in most study plans — treating it as its own subject, rather than an afterthought to either, closes a real preparation gap.
