Ragging means ‘laughing at’ or ‘playing trick’ on somebody.
Sometimes, it may mean teasing somebody. In this sense, ragging is not very objectionable. However, ragging has
become a threat to new students in some prestigious academic institutes. In the
name of ragging, junior students are often subjected to physical and mental torture. Sometimes, students fall ill
seriously and leave the institutions and give up their studies altogether. The
Supreme Court has taken serious steps to curb
this menace and has issued instructions to state governments to control
ragging. Ragging causes serious illnesses and mental imbalance among the
affected students. Every year, we hear of many deaths caused due to ragging.
The raggers often contend that ragging helps a fresher to
shake of his inertia and shyness and
be smart. However, such tactful excuses cannot minimise the seriousness of the
problem. Ragging should be banned in the interest of a healthy academic
atmosphere.
