Ragging in colleges by senior students towards Junior students in Ht dated 10/3/2009

I was shocked to read the shocking news in which a medical student was ragged or tortured by senior students in one of mmedical college in Himmachal Pradesh with the result that junior student died. Really it is shame on society and the college authorities who cannot stop ragging. I mentioned in my earlier blog when I got admission in Roorkee Engineering college when a mass ragging was organised by the seniors at about mid night and all the freshers were lined quite naked and ordered to quick march on canal service road. Some of the seniors were injured during scuffles. This was a mass ragging and freshers were out numbered, so the then authorities put forth a civilised method of ragging. Every fresher was called on the stage and would tell his or her name, the place from where he is hailing and previous college and hobbies etc and all the authorities then get the introduction of the freshers and seniors were helpful to the needy students later on. I think this is better way of introduction of the fresh students. The law authorities and the Govt should make the college authorities accountable on this issue.
