India is a democracy at bay. This compelling book puts the
spotlight not on political leaders but on the murky workings of
India's deep state-from the police to the federal investigative and
intelligence agencies. Traversing the Mumbai train blasts, the
Kashmir insurgency, the Gujarat 'war on terror' and the Delhi
riots, Josy Joseph reveals corruption and political agendas running
through the core of agencies that should ensure justice and
accountability, and shows how this has undermined democracy. In
2020, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, India's democratic pillars
suffered another blow: the arrest of activists, dissidents and
journalists opposed to Narendra Modi's government, some on dubious
charges, others under stringent anti-terror laws. Some contend that
Modi has simply perfected the art of subverting a democratic
state's security establishment, bending it to his will. With false
arrests, the overlooking of right-wing Hindu terror, an
establishment bias against Muslims and an unenviable human rights
record that has often relied on extrajudicial killings or false
testimonies, India's domestic security institutions have become
just another player in pursuit of power. How did this happen? And
why does India, the world's largest democracy, often subvert the
very ideals of democratic politics when dealing with security
challenges?
