AKHYAN DIARIES | EPISODE 4 IS FINALLY LIVE
WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/GdGx2Nc8CWs
This might just be the strongest episode we’ve done so far.
If Bhakti has ever felt reduced to “devotion” in textbooks, this conversation will completely change how you see it. From Kabir and Dadu to Akbar’s court, this episode explores Bhakti as a social thought, a critique of caste, language politics, early modernity, the public sphere, and lived philosophy.
Prof. Purushottam Agrawal brings rare clarity, depth, and sharp historical insight. Six years as a UPSC member. Decades of scholarship. And it shows.
For UPSC aspirants, this one episode can anchor your entire Bhakti Movement preparation. Add examples, take notes, and revisit it. It’s that solid.
And yes, it’s intellectually fun too.

History Durbar 5.0 | How to Handle Debate-Based Questions in History Optional
One of the biggest challenges in History Optional is this, when historians disagree on the same event, how should you frame your answer? Should you take a stand, stay neutral, or balance every school of thought? Most students lose marks here, not because they don’t know facts, but because they don’t know how to present a debate.
To bring complete clarity, LevelUp IAS is hosting History Durbar 5.0, where Nikhil Sir and Vishal Sir will explain:
• how to structure answers built around debates
• how to balance Marxist, Nationalist, Revisionist and other viewpoints
• when you should quote historians
• how to end without sounding biased
If you want to improve your marks in History Optional, this session will help you understand what toppers do differently.
