Literary Awards & Authors: International, National and Rajasthan (2020–2026)
Nobel Prize in Literature, Booker Prize, International Booker Prize, Jnanpith Award, Sahitya Akademi (Rajasthani), Vyas Samman, Saraswati Samman and Rajasthan's own Meera Puraskar — the full 2020–2026 winners' series for RAS Prelims, with the authors and works behind each name.
International Events of 2026 — India & Rajasthan's Global Engagements
India's fourth BRICS Chairship turned 2026 into a genuinely nationwide hosting year rather than a single Delhi summit, and Rajasthan hosted two of those meetings — in Jaipur and Udaipur — on top of its own international calendar built around JLF, DigiFest, and Rising Rajasthan. Full RPSC RAS Prelims and Mains coverage, dated and sourced to 13 August 2026.
Civilian & National Honours: Bharat Ratna, Padma Awards, Gandhi Peace Prize and Nari Shakti Puraskar (2019–2026)
