Ragging .. mere law will not help

Ragging has been such a tradition which bothers most of the youth moving to the colleges after their schooling. Especially in the professional colleges it has really been the menace, has spoilt the life of numerous youths. It has been banned in most of the institutions because this custom has been tarnished by some of the miscreants by making it more vulgar and violent.
According to youth, ragging is a prestige builder...it has become a rage. Their view is that it is a medium to know our juniors. But according to the socialites, it is a peril for the society. Though it is helpful in transforming an introvert into an extrovert, but the tactics used in ragging is not always fair. Sometimes the students are asked to strip tease or perform any activity which is beyond their dignity. This is seriously unfair and unjustified in the case of not only fresher or any civilized human being.
Ragging can serve as a positive factor if it is utilized in the right sense and within its limitations. It can help one a lot in facing the real world. It can act as a boost up in preparing oneself to face any situation with full confidence. Though law has been implemented in the matter of ragging, it is still not correctly employed.
Mere having law is not going to solve the problem since we have plenty of laws against some social flaws prevalent but still bother us in the absence of awareness. The law is fruitful only if people are educated and are aware of the pros and cons of it. Coming to the ragging, it is not at all a problem if it is ..... Contd. on Page 2 within a limit and both the side enjoys it as a social medium to understand each other and start building a new communication.
We understand the importance of seniors in the colleges and the help which we get are really immense because we can’t share everything with the faculty but seniors are always there to help be it personal or academic.
Ragging help us shed our hesitation, move out from our shells and behave in a mature and tactful way.
To conclude, it has to be stated that don’t be dependant on extras, one should have faith on oneself and always live a life of character and dignity and be prepared to face any battles or challenges. Just have self-confidence.......THAT’S IT!!!
