This is an English medium book from Connect Civils — the Indian History Question Bank, a New Edition 2026 prepared for RAS and other RPSC examinations. It covers complete Indian History through 400 questions with solutions, and is built according to the new examination pattern. The entire book is written in English in the Roman script; this is the English edition of the title, and a separate Hindi medium edition (भारतीय इतिहास प्रश्न बैंक) exists for candidates preparing in Hindi. That distinction is worth checking before ordering, because most Rajasthan-level history question banks are published only in Hindi, and English medium candidates preparing for RAS have relatively few options of this kind.
Four hundred questions is a deliberately small number for a subject this large, and that is the design rather than a limitation. Indian History runs from the Indus Valley to Independence, and a candidate who prepares it by reading alone finds the reading never ends — there is always another dynasty, another treaty, another reformer. A question bank inverts the approach: it fixes the boundary of what is actually asked, and reading is then done against that boundary rather than without one. Every question carries its solution, so each one works as a compact revision of its topic and not merely as a test.
The new pattern is the second thing this book is built for, and it matters more in history than in most subjects. RPSC has moved towards formats that test whether facts are held in relation to one another — chronological ordering, statement evaluation, matching of rulers with events and sites, assertion and reason. History is peculiarly exposed to this. A candidate can know every fact about the Mauryas and still lose a question asking them to place four events in sequence, because sequence is a different kind of memory from fact. Questions set to that pattern are the only real preparation for it.
This is a practice and revision title rather than a first-reading text, and works best alongside a standard history study source.
