Why don’t you give notes for Group 2 mains. Because still we are confused like where to study and where do we get notes and then give notes for all the topics for Group 2 prelims (since Group 1 prelims syllabus is same). Please provide full notes for all the topics in prelims first. Your notes are really great and keep going with your good work
