UCC is contentious

What are your views on it

I started my todayโ€™s offline class with this.. ek cheez samajh mein aayi ke bohot bachon ko isske baare mein zyada knowledge nahin thi

So thinking of making a few current affairs here and there before my offline classes and sharing them on YouTube for all

Of course excelling in upsc requires reading far more and a lot than just one topic

But just want to make some humble contributions to put as many people on the path of hardwork, which is an absolute necessity for success in this exam ๐Ÿ™
