Needed some books about Indian History, Politics and so on

Hi, I am from India and over the course of the past year I have become radicalized and am a Marxist-Leninist now, but i have a lot of knowledge gap regarding many aspects of Indian Politics.

I needed some recommendations for books relating to Indian History (Caste, Colonialism, Independence Struggle, Indira Gandhi shenanigans and so on), any recommended authors? Hopefully from a Socialist/Communist or at least leftist perspective.

There are some other topics i would love recommendations for as well: Feminism in India, Trans Struggle (and LGBTQIA+ struggle in India in general), Economic Policies and the like. Thank you for your help!
