I hope this answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!

From the UPSC civil Services examination point of view  i would suggest you to choose Sociology. It is because the syllabus generally doesn't change much and it is not that conceptual subject too. I am not saying that it is a cake walk but as compare to International Relations it can be easy.

You can consider Anthropology too. You can have a look at this subject if you have time.

All the best !!
