The menance of ragging.

I agree with your view point that ragging that too physical ragging is really very bad and despite all claims by the concerned authorities, ragging takes place at various colleges unhindered. It can be fatal and telling for the new comers, who just join college and do not have any idea about ragging. You are right, it is a kind of process for the seniors to vent out their own frustration through ragging freshers. I was once at the receiving end and I had to face absolutely bitter experience, which I would not like to recall here. On my part, I tried to rag one student while in college that too lightly and things went on for 15 minutes and then suddenly the other fellow started laughing loudly........to my astonishment, I was dumb stuck when he told me that he was a final year student though he would look quite younger like a fresher.

This is barbaric. Who is responsible for the mental make up of these goons? Who has failed to teach them the basic humanity from the childhood? How come they are not scared of the law? Why are these youngsters slowly turning into monsters? What makes us to say that we are the more civilized and humane society in the world?

Yes, it was really sad to go through the first page of newspapers today. Ragging has always been a problem in India and the government is just making rules. They never implement them seriously. I really feel sorry for the boy and his family. I hope the accused are taken to task seriously. They should be barred from studying any course at any college in this country. I know this is harsh but this is the way people would learn.

first of all i don't like ragging a bit but yes person who wants to do ragging just to the point of fun & not insulting others is well enough. anyways now i have heard that government has banned ragging in colleges entirely.

Luckily I never suffered ranning, but I have always been very well accept by my peers at school. Probably today times have changed, I note that the new generations are quite violent and not prepared to accept others, especially diversity.
