ISBN: 9798171874841 - the hollow spine: identity, scarcity, and the collapse of equal opportunity (6 resultados)

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Hollow Spine is a rigorous, data-backed socio-economic and structural critique of modern India's affirmative action framework, focusing on the unreserved 'General Category' population. Written from the perspective of an author specializing in business management and structural reform, the book challenges the widespread assumption that upper-caste identity automatically equates to intergenerational wealth and systemic privilege. Through a comprehensive 12-chapter matrix, the text explores the material realities of class-caste dissonance, revealing millions of low-income unreserved families and disabled individuals who are rendered invisible by an identity-centric welfare state. Moving from the rural land fragmentation of sub-marginal farmers like Satish Sharma to the intense academic score compression (90% vs 40%) faced by unreserved youth, the book maps out how the steady contraction of the open merit pool drives structural anxiety and mass emigration ('Brain Drain'). Rather than relying on superficial political rhetoric, The Hollow Spine delivers a practical, management-driven blueprint for institutional renewal. It outlines clear policy pathways to transition India from a volatile system of hereditary group balancing to a transparent, needs-based meritocracy built on a centralized Individual Vulnerability Index (IVI)-offering an urgent, constructive vision to repair the nation's fractured social fabric.
