Ragging

Is it still such a menace? What a pity!
Cant that be any sensible? I was there and did that, in our college days. But those were some silly pranks and jokes and not even the juniors’ egos were hurt. We did hear of severe ragging, even physical assaults from my friends in some RECs in north, BITS, some medical colleges etc. We also heard then, thru newspaper, of some severe injuries caused or in some cases inducing suicides. I thought humanity wud have evolved or law wud have had tougher sections to tackle this nonsense.
What a shame, a kid had to compensate this ridiculous act with his life in a Delhi medical college last week. Suicide or not those seniors in that college and its management are a party to it and need to be punished severely.
What ever the punishment is, how will that family ever be comforted? And how long will this sheer devilry continue? Are students so bad and never think of the consequences of such culpable murders?
