Hi there.

It would be best to start with the basic NCERT books. The NCERT books are available online. You should first start reading NCERT books from Class VI-XII of History, Geography, Economics and Science.

When you are done with the NCERT books go further with books like Indian Polity by Lakshmikant.

For a proper book list and study schedule please check Unacademy's website (Roman Saini lessons) and Mrunal's blog.

Start reading The Hindu daily. And be updated with current affairs. Do develop a habit of reading Yojana Maganzine every month.

Hope this helps.
