Introduction & Syllabus Context

Topic 43 is the most contemporary sociology topic in Paper I Unit III. It covers:

  1. Micro-social institutions — family, marriage (traditional structures under change)
  2. Vulnerable groups — elderly, persons with disabilities (welfare and rights)
  3. New social phenomena — cyber crime, social media (technology and society)

The topic's cyber crime and social media components are driven by current affairs — making them especially relevant for 2026 when RPSC is expected to test technology's social impact.

PYQ history: Only the Sharda Act (2021, 2-mark) appeared. But the syllabus explicitly includes cyber crime and social media, making these high-probability for 2026 as untested areas.
