Start with economics and polity. Because once you understand the fundamentals of these subjects you will be able to comprehend newspaper in a better way.
For economics NCERT class 12th Macroeconomic book is a must for concept building. Finish it in a week and then move to Ramesh Singh's Indian Economy for Civil Services.
Simultaneously with economics or after that pick up Indian Polity for Civil Services by M Laxmikant. Polity is very important subject IAS and this book is sufficient for prelims.
After that you can move to history or geography. For modern history everyone recommends Bipin Chandra's book. But don't neglect Spectrum's book written by Rajiv Aheer. It's thinner, more exam oriented and easy to revise.
In geography first build your concept in physical geography using Goh Cheng Leong. Then read NCERT's 11th and 12th book.
Keep reading The Hindu news paper everyday. Miss a meal but not this.
Now this is not enough, just a head start. Once you are done with this you can choose your optional and find out the way forward yourself.
Update:
1. Download NCERT books from National Council Of Educational Research And Training.
2. Mrunal's blog is worth following.
3. The Knowledge Network for Civil Services Preparation is a forum where aspirants help each other.
4. Today's Paper News - The Hindu should be read everyday.
5. Search flipkart for other books.
