Once again I am reminding
Newspaper is the Best source for UPSC preparation. It covers different subjects in an updated way.

But learn to link Newspaper with UPSC syllabus and Previous years question papers then only you can read it effectively. Collect facts, data, keywords, examples, policies, schemes from newspaper and use them in your answers.

For your references i will share some of my students newspaper notes.

Just be consistent for few months.
You can stop reading Newspaper from February and focus more on Prelims and Revision of previous months notes.

Once Karna met Shri Krishna and said, “My mother left me the moment I was born, was it my fault that I was born an illegitimate child?
I didn’t get education from Dhronacharya just because I was considered a non- kshatriya and then, when I was able to learn from Lord Parshurama, he gave me curse to forget all what I had learned from him since I was a Kshatriya.
I was disgraced in Draupadi’s swayamvar. My mother Kunti finally told me the truth just to save her other sons.
Whatever I have today was because of Duryodhana’s charity and friendship. So am I wrong in taking his side??”
Shri Krishna replied, “Karna… I was born in jail. Death was waiting for me even before I was born.
I was separated from my both the parents and since my birth i was attacked several times. I didn’t have any education till I was sixteen while you were given education from childhood.
You got to marry girl of your choice but I didn’t get to marry the girl I loved, rather I ended up marrying those who wanted to marry me and ones I rescued from demons.
I had to move my whole community from the banks of Yamuna to far off Sea shore to save them from Jarasandh. I was called a coward for running away!

Remember Karna.. Everyone has to face challenges in life. Life is not fair on anybody.
If Duryodhana has a lot of unfairness in life, so does Yudhishtir.
What is Right (Dharma) is known to your mind and No matter how much unfairness we get, how many times we were disgraced, how many times we were denied but what matter is how you react at that time. Life’s unfairness doesn’t give you right to walk the wrong path.

Always remember, Life may be tough at a point but DESTINY is not created by the what happened to us but by the STEPS we take.”
