Please compare some brokers and banks before you register yourr Demat account. Compare the broking charges and also thier customer service. Dont go by Big Names.
For Opening Demat Account you will need:
PAN Card, Address Proof, Bank Cheque, 2 Photographs


You can read articles and news on various sites dealing with share market of india. like:
www.moneycontrol.com
www.capitalmarket.com
www.sharekhan.com
www.paisabuilder.com

You will get share market theory knowledge on websites:
www.bseindia.com
www.nseindia.com

Also, make it habit of watching reviews on CNBC and NDTV.

You can accumulate all that knowledge only bit by bit. Don't worry though, if you have the passion to dig in deeper, you can cut short the learning curve by benefiting much from the experience of others, and by making your own, hopefully small, mistakes! Consider adopting all of these mechanisms below, to get more knowledgeable, slowly.

Next, I would recommend you to first get solid grounding in Investing. 3 must read books. If you haven't heard of these, buy them NOW, today. They will be your invaluable guides to safe & prosperous investing and future wealth creation.
1. Intelligent Investor -Benjamin Graham
Considered the bible of all investors, this will foremost teach you the basics and most importantly, how not to lose money. Thats the first lesson you need, believe me
2. One up on Wall Street -Peter Lynch
This is another classic. Tells you how to spot winners from what you see around you. successful products, companies. Practically shows you how you do not need to be a hot shot financial analyst to be able to spot good moneymaking opportunities in stocks
3. Common stocks Uncommon Profits- Phil Fisher
As you dabble for 1 or 2 years, make some money and also make some small (hopefully) mistakes, you will start itching to catch the multi-baggers, the ones that go up 4x-10x in a couple of years! This book show you how to sift out probable winners.

You can aslo try dummy game about share market at

Always remember, patience and knowledge are key to success in any business.

If you dont know anything about stock market why do you want to learn and invest. Its not meant for you and me. Even experts are losing my the millions. I stongly suggest you keep away from the markets.

To accept that you know nothing about the stock market is a good starting point. However, to expect that by spending hours on the internet reading through various websites is going to educate you in this regard is expecting too much.

We would suggest that you read a few books on investment management to start with. Security Analysis by Graham & Dodd would be a good starting point. In fact, you could do a search for investment management or check for books on amazon.com. After that you must meet the branch manager of you bank. After which you may consider meeting an investment advisor to understand the nuances of the stock market.

You could start out learning the ropes of Investing in the Stock Market. Consider some of the suggestions, below:

1. Since you are starting out, first you need to familiarise yourself with the basics. Consider the set of excellent articles at sites such as these below
Great investing basics websites
http://beginnersinvest.about.com/
http://www.investopedia.com/articles/basics/
http://www.kiplinger.com/moneybasics/

2. Next, I would recommend you to first get solid grounding in Investing. 3 must read books. If you haven't heard of these, buy them NOW, today. They will be your invaluable guides to safe & prosperous investing and future wealth creation.
a. Intelligent Investor -Benjamin Graham
Considered the bible of all investors, this will foremost teach you the basics and most importantly, how not to lose money. Thats the first lesson you need, believe me
b. One up on Wall Street -Peter Lynch
This is another classic. Tells you how to spot winners from what you see around you. successful products, companies. Practically shows you how you do not need to be a hot shot financial analyst to be able to spot good moneymaking opportunities in stocks
c. Common stocks Uncommon Profits- Phil Fisher
As you dabble for 1 or 2 years, make some money and also make some small (hopefully) mistakes, you will start itching to catch the multi-baggers, the ones that go up 4x-10x in a couple of years! This book show you how to sift out probable winners

3. Next, you need to understand more on the promising sectors, promising companies, etc. So start reading the Economic Times daily, watch CNBC TV 18 -your stocks with Udyan, UtVi, NDTV Profit. There are also dedicated shows on Sat/Sunday mornings 9.30 am onwards till 11 am or so on CNBC TV18 - that cover investing basics, markets next week-basically trading calls for the week, and other useful shows.

4. You could also join some investing/Trading groups to learn more from other investors. Here by listening on the conversations, you can shorten your learning curve. I dont do Trading so I cant tell you about such groups, but there are good long term investing groups like http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/lawarrenbuffet/.
You can check out more such yahoogroups at http://in.dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/Business___Finance/Investments/Online_Investing_and_Trading

5. Once you have spent some time in all above, say 3-6 months, you will see that you start forming some ideas of your own. That you are able to comment on or question what someone is saying on TV, the yahoogroup or even what your friends offer as stock ideas. If you are unable to comment /question anything on most of the pronouncements by analysts/others thats a pretty good indicator that you are not ready yet. If you venture out at this stage, you are probably not investing but gambling away hard earned money:-)

So read up, ask questions, see that you are able to interpret/question/comment on what others are saying. Only then take small bets in companies you believe in, which have some track records. Dont go for quick profits, thats a sure recipe for disaster!

Doesn't matter where you start, just start. There's a lot of awesome books you can start reading. I would take $100 and invest in a good Indian company that pays dividends. Something like TATA Motors, maybe.

Stop by my site, I've got lots of ideas and wouldn't mind talking to some Indians about the Indian economy etc.
