    Books source will be same like u have….
    Old ncert – ancient, medieval, India till 1857
    Freedom struggle – Spectrum
    Art and culture – Nitin singhania+internet
    And some specific topics from internet….
    Material is very limited in this vast abundance.. 🙂
    If some topics bother u from Nitin singhania than internet is the best option… watch videos or content of GK today… and make notes .. hopefully it will help….

    For solving later mughal and early british rule questions you could refer to old NCERT class which covers arrival of british and independence struggle.Art and culture i have not been able to identify a good source.Some people say Nitin Singhania notes,some say ncert etc etc..Can someone guide regarding this?…otherwise dont worry much..These questions are cherrypicked from a vast syllabus.Just read the Ncerts.It will help.
