Ragging: Where offender is a victim too
By Dr. Vineeth S:
Ragging in its many forms has
persistently existed in college for decades. The
ice-breaker by seniors used to be a cherished
experience that evoked nostalgic feelings long
after college life. The tough ‘seniors' asking
juniors to sing a song or do mimicry were the
common harmless methods employed. But somewhere
down the lane ragging has acquired an ugly form
which includes harassment and physical abuse.
The idea of plainly restricting
the interaction of seniors with juniors would go
against the very idea of the word ‘campus.' The
way students behave on campus can in many ways
be attributed to the learning practices in
school. The competitive school environment
churns out students who want to win. The seniors
try to ‘win' over the juniors through these
coercive methods.
The children must be taught
right from school the art of cooperation. The
strict rule-based schools provide children with
very little time to learn social skills. There
are several schools that do not allow
interaction even during recess. The child feels
like an imprisoned bird who does not know how to
spread its wings. This complete lack of social
skills is a primary reason for students to
become both aggressors and sufferers in college.
The cocktail of risk-taking behaviour inherent
in youth and freedom from home leads the youth
into an imaginary world where they try out
extreme experiments with their life and that of
others. The reconnecting of college students
with parents through regular feedback of their
endeavours will help them regain the control in
their lives.
