For an overview of India's history, I'd recommend India: A History by John Keay.

Midnight's Descendants also by John Keay. This covers South Asia's history since Independence. I prefer this over Ramachandra Guha's India After Independence (I've read both), as Guha comes across as a Nehru fanboy in his book (IMO).

Blood Telegram about the 1971 war.

Since you mentioned South Indian history, The Illustrated History of South India by Nilakanta Sastri. It's quite old, and you may find the text a bit dull, but this is the best book about South India I could find.

Kaoboys of R&AW by B. Raman. For a behind-the-scenes look at India's intelligence agencies.
