Exams aren't the only worries...

Just read the latest on ragging..this issue has always been in the news..the latest being the girl who committed suicide after being sexually humiliated and the boy from Delhi (DPS has always been in the news for all the wrong reasons!) who was beaten up by his seniors. The whole incident or simply the thought of it gives goosebumps. It's so horrible and pathetic, it's not cruel, it's simply inhumane. I don't understand the whole concept of raggin-ok, people say there are levels of ragging-but what is a low level or a high level?! The bottomline remains that you are being embarrassed in front of a bunch of people whom you dont even know and for what? For being a fresher?! Since when is being a fresher a crime which invites such a horrible act from strangers?!

I feel really strongly about this issue because nobody but the ragged person knows the trauma of having a dozen people looking and laughing at you. Nobody has given these raggers a right to do what they do. I mean, they are like the local level terrorists-because we have to be on a lookout for them or that these are the ones who always have an upper-hand to us. And thanks to these incidents, there are stricter laws being introduced but what can one possibly do? How can one keep an eye on these raggers coz their face and behaviour is no different from the others.

The latest incidents have me in shock. Because I am worried for the future generations to come. Never thought there would be a day where parents would be worried about their children going to school....
