Review: Josy Joseph (2021). The Silent Coup: A History of India’s Deep State. Westland Books.
In The Silent Coup, Joseph furnishes evidence for what we know is true about how power is wielded in India, the unscrupulousness of security institutions, and the brazenness of officials and politicians, who haven’t always even bothered to cover their tracks, confident their futures gleam brightly before them.
