RAGGING

Ragging is banned in India after some very serious offences committed by the seniors in some colleges.

If I understand the term of ragging, here it means to nag, to nagging maybe it is the same friend. Yes, it is terrible to torture someone with the repeated put downs and bossing and incessant going on forever..it can lead to someone doing harm to themselves if they feel they cannot live up to the standard of the elder one. I have seen many bad things happen to juniors as you say because of this bad thing.

Hello! Nice post. Yes, you are right that despite anti-ragging ban, ragging goes on unabashedly in some of the professional colleges here in India. I understand though, since the Supreme Court Ruling came, its severity has gone down. You are right that freshers should be welcomed and they should be treated nicely so as to feel comfortable in the new (college) environment. I think if a fresher goes to a college and if his legs are pulled up in a lighter vein and in fun, he should take it sportingly and should not mind. However, if seniors resort to some physical torture to a fresher, the fresher should immediately report to the college authorities. Anti ragging law could lend the seniors in trouble, if applied, in such circumstances.
