https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/antiquity/article/inequality-declined-in-the-bronze-age-city-of-mohenjodaro/BF07ED4E516F2127F1C3E645C9C8F462 Mohenjo-daro was more socially equal than many other ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia and Greece.

Contrary to the common belief that advanced societies become more unequal over time, inequality in Mohenjo-Daro actually decreased as the city developed.

Using excavation records and GIS mapping, scholars measured inequality through the Gini coefficient, which fell from 0.39 to 0.23 across different layers of the city.

We are starting our Modern India section of History Optional Foundation (2026-27) today. I was preparing a PYQ analysis in a tabular format and it came out to be so beautiful that I couldn't resist sharing it with you all.

Remember: Neither is history static or nor is UPSC. Every 2-3 years, trend keeps evolving. Those of you who identify trends properly can prepare much better than others and score high.

The story of Indium is also a story of 19th century industrial history.

The mid 1800s saw rapid growth in mining, metallurgy, and chemical research in the German states. Science was closely linked with industry. Chemists worked on practical problems involving ores and industrial materials. Spectroscopy was also transforming chemistry by helping scientists identify substances through light signatures.

In 1863, German chemists Ferdinand Reich and Hieronymus Theodor Richter were studying zinc ores. Instead of the element they were searching for, they found an unknown indigo blue spectral line. The new element was named Indium, from the Latin word indicum, meaning indigo (because of Indian textile exports with blue colour).

An interesting detail: Reich was color blind. Richter identified the blue line that gave the element its name.

Romila Thapar's autobiography is going to be released. The publisher has made its pre-booking available on American site of Amazon. However, its not still available in India for pre-booking.

Romila Thapar's whole career was in India. Her whole history writing is about India. But its the American market that determines things, not Indian.

I just had a very enriching conversation on colonial history with Prof. Amar Farooqui.

His recent book Governors of Empire is truly impressive. We discussed several ideas from the book in detail. The discussion lasted about 90 minutes. It was engaging and full of insight. I will share more when the episode releases. Won't spill the beans here...:)

We will edit it soon. It will be the 6th episode of Akhyan Diaries.

One more thing. Prof. Farooqui is a true gentleman. It was a pleasure and an honour to host him at LevelUp IAS.

"when france sneezes europe catches a cold" - Metternich

Whenever we think of this statement, our scope generally restricts to how the Revolutions of 1789, 1830, 1848 spread from Paris to entire Europe. But this footnote from a book gives it altogether new frame and a much larger scope.

Very insightful. Take down in your notes.

Deeksha's (AIR44) session is starting in 15 mins.

She will discuss whats the difference between scoring 240-250 and 290-300 in the optional? With all basic things done, one can hope to get 250. But the path to reach 300 is not obvious. Its full of details, micro efforts and mindset reset.

Do join us today for the session.
