RAGGING AND SOCIETY
Understanding Ragging

Rooting out ragging
By Pratiksha Baxi
We must ask ourselves how we can institutionalise cultures of care,
dignity and respect in spaces of learning, and challenge the pedagogies
of ragging which popularise techniques of violence.

Ragging needs to be studied by behavioural scientists
By Dr Shobna Sonpar
The proof of dominance for the senior is when the fresher breaks down.
Therefore ragging has to hurt. "The fresher has to be stretched like
a rubber band until he snaps," and that is the point of the exercise
according to one student.

RAGGING AND THE LAW
The law is not an ass

Full text: The Supreme Court order against ragging
'If an institution fails to curb ragging, the UGC/Funding Agency may
consider stoppage of financial assistance to such an Institution till
such time as it achieves the same. An University may consider
disaffiliating a college or institution failing to curb ragging.'

Ragging and the Indian Penal Code
There are thirteen provisions of the IPC (Indian Penal Code) which can
be used by a fresher who is being ragged to register an FIR (First
Information Re****t) in the police station under whose jurisdiction-area
the crime has taken place.

FIRST HAND accounts of ragging
http://stop-ragging.blogspot.com/2005/03/first-hand-stories.html
Bare beginnings
"That Baku guy is sick. Though you think they would have done
anything?" I said, striving for a cool I did not feel. "Who knows?
Maybe not," Ryan rotated a shoulder, "But you can never tell when
guys get into mob mentality. Trust me, I have lived in enough boarding
schools." Excerpts from Chetan Bhagat's novel, Five Point Someone:
What Not to do at IIT .

The Masks of '91
'Freshers did not know who had suddenly come in, masked, beating them
ruthlessly. A boy from Assam jumped from the second floor and broke his
neck. He died after a few days, yet his parents thanked us for helping
them out at the hospital by donating blood, etcetera. We did not know
how to respond.'

How I was ragged at IIT Delhi and why it was no joke
After so many years, Sujit Saraf can dispassionately list the 'forms of
ragging', but no one should be misled. When an eighteen year old boy
stands ****d to be inspected by ten leering animals, he shudders in the
bottom of his heart.

The Beauties of Miranda
When Madhu Kishwar got elected as president of the Union in 1970, the
two issues they began the year with were: An end to nasty and often
obscene ragging of freshers by the seniors. And an end to the beauty
contest.
http://stop-ragging.blogspot.com/2005/03/beauties-of-miranda.html
All's well that ends well
'These things however got over in about two months and soon these very
freshers were being treated in canteens and K Nags food joints by these
very seniors. The lack of resentment towards the seniors was
surprising.'

My first day in the hostel was the worst day of my life
I had forgotten my unpleasant experience of ragging even though it
lasted till only a few months ago. I thought I would rag my juniors
mildly, but won't make them go through what I have been. But when I
heard of this Stop Ragging campaign, I tried to reflect back at the
last one year in hostel.

Life of a Bhutru
I am still in touch with the seniors who had ragged us. Many of them
are in MNC's like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, L&T, and so on. Does India need
such professionals?

My first and last day in Delhi University
I still haven't been able to forget that next half-an-hour or so,
when I was trying to hide myself from people on the streets of North
Campus. I was so scared and emotionally hurt that I took off the belt
only after I had walked a good distance away from Kirori Mal College.
And I never went back to KMC after that.
