Book recommendations

I am currently in the 11th grade (I am an Indian student) and I am looking forward to studying pure mathematics and theoretical physics in the future.

I therefore request you to tell me books/textbooks to study physics. I know some integration and differentiation and I plan to study Richard Courant's book "Introduction To Calculus And Analysis: Volume 1" from Tuesday onwards.Besides, I am studying Halliday-Resnick Walker for the moment.

I'd suggest that you continue with Halliday & Resnick for the present. And don't read Courant for Calculus now. Not that its a bad book, but I don't think it is good introductory book. For a good introduction to calculus try Stewart or Thomas & Finney. And as for physics, you could probably read the classic Feynman Lectures as well.

For mathematical aspects of mechanics I'd suggest S.L Loney's books. Note that this will get you familiar with the mathematics but does not offer much in terms of a conceptual discussion. The problems are quite hard. Also be aware that these books are circa 1800's, so the treatment is not modern by any means. However, I found them extremely useful and rigorous.
