I am studying political science and international relations, so the problem is there are many sub topics which I can’t put in the same file, my query is can I create subfolders to make my notes and organize them in a structured way.
Also, when I create backlinks why do they appear in the left window as suppose to just create a page just like in roam.{i use linux}
I am a little lost on what exactly you asking for.
Obsidian supports nested folders.

Obsidian does support nested folders but be aware that there are some limitations in the usability. The ones that I found were
For disambiguation purposes allow showing folder path (from the root of the vault) in the title when editing
I have a daily note for 2020/04/24 and 2020/05/24. I arrange my notes in folder hierarchy. In one of my backlinks it shows up as 24. Now I have no idea what is this 24. For disambiguation it is essential that everywhere the folder path as well as file name is present
Steps to reproduce
Create fileA inside folderA
Go to another file and use autocomplete of [[]] to enter the file
Press enter
Expected result
[[folderA/fileA]] is inserted
Actual result
[[fileA]] is inserted
Environment
Operating system: MacOS Catalaina
Obsidian version: 0.6.2
Using custom CSS: No
Additional information
This can create issues with disambiguation. In case a file is created in some other the links start pointing to the new file and all links are now wrong.
