Each & every Essay topic this year (UPSC 2025) was a hidden debate about truth and bias, war and restraint, wealth and desire.

The art of writing them is not in collecting & dumping examples, which is usually the refrain of old school Essay frameworks (PESTLE, SWOT, Shareholders etc.) but in showing a journey: from Thesis, where you state the core idea; to Antithesis, where you confront its counter-truth; and finally to Synthesis, where you rise to a wiser perspective that reconciles the two.

This is how a single line of wisdom evolves into examples and arguments that actually connect with one another.

UPSC’s message is clear: Thematic, GS-heavy topics are a gone era. It will test the breadth of your philosophical understanding and the depth of your reflection.
