its a gr8 pleasure to know tat this has helped u people..
The mentioned books cover the syllabus in bits and pieces and only the recommended topics from upsc's syllabus list hv to be taken care of.. The materials cover most of the areas. Almost 90% students use muniratnam reddy sir's material.. To procure it, one can call up R C Reddy institute in hyderabad and offer to send a DD payable at hyderabad for the amount.. Paper 1 material costs just 250 or 300. I'm not sure about paper 2 costs.. As of prof Rao's video material, it can be procured from him directly or by interacting with him online.. His residence is in indiranagar, bangalore.. It is to be noted that all these materials and books only guide you.. The rest is around you in your society.. With regards to physical anthro, stick to one book.. I recommend B M Das to those from humanities background, and shukla, rastogi to those from medical related background..
