The Silent Coup

In The Silent Coup, Josy Joseph draws on over two decades of reporting to reveal the troubling decline of India’s democracy beneath the façade of a functioning constitutional government. He explores how the country's ongoing struggle against militancy has led security institutions to operate increasingly with nationalistic fervor and a lack of accountability. Joseph argues that rather than experiencing a military coup, India is facing a subtle yet profound subversion of its democratic values, raising urgent questions about the integrity of its electoral system and the role of security agencies.
