The Silent Coup: A History of India's Deep State 2021
The Silent Coup: A History of India's Deep State is a 2021 book written by Josy Joseph, an Indian investigative journalist. The book tells how India's democratic values have weakened because of government agencies being used for political purposes. Joseph argues that although the political class has restrained military power, non-military security groups are exploited by the political leadership to undermine democracy. These groups silence or intimidate government opponents. The term "Deep State" in the title refers to this non-military security establishment. It includes police forces, intelligence agencies, the Central Bureau of Investigation, the National Investigation Agency, the Anti-Terrorism Squad and others like the Enforcement Directorate and the Income Tax Department.
