Ragging causing death of an innocent...high time we end it

How irresponsibly brutal can the youth become?A first year fresher in a medical college in himachal was mercilessly bashed in the process of 'ragging' by four seniors today, which caused him death!But unfortunately some still believe it as "harmless fun'. Such sweep of savagery should prompt us to recognize the enormity of physical, emotional and mental threat that an individual can go through in the process of 'ragging' .Ragging, is one of the burning issues plaguing our institutions.

There should be a complete ban on such practices.It usually happens in an avenge from the seniors ,thus continuing the malaise.Ragging causes plummentation of self confidence among the victims. It should rather be seen as a social evil in the society.

The solemnised process of introduction and interaction is imperative and must be done, but there can be other better means of doing the same.Interaction means discussion and sharing views, not imposing them.Interaction produces light, not heat.Reluctant students are often coercively made a part of this.Medical colleges, engineering colleges and hostels are the ones which are mostly boisterous regarding the issue.Its time we put an end to it before other innocents fall pray of the same.Adequate strictness must be maintained by both the supreme and the high courts, cancelling the license of education of students who are caught ragging.Should'nt we interact with juniors at an equal level rather than bossing over them and imposing our sadistic whims and fancies on them?Isnt it time that we break off this unjustifiable tradition?

Do they even understand their own religion?

Burning houses, elevating terrorism, killing innocents, creating mayhem, increasing their unprecedented carnage, molesting women, imposing restrictions on education and development of women, forcing them to wear burqas, imposing extreme nefarious designs, all this in the name of ‘religion’- in the name of jihad.

Such chaos, squalor and terror worldwide, without the real knowledge of Jihad, actual meaning of shariah law!! Who says that their law prohibits women to be educated, killing innocents is legal, and practicing terrorism is valid?? So much so that breathing with freedom becomes inexorable.
What is it that they are backing their actions with? Who are they trying to fool?
With the name of religion they surely can’t stand heavy to a country which has the greatest variety of religion yet executes secularism and proudly practices nationalism.

Positive streak to terror attacks

Sometimes it takes one catastrophe to transform the mindset, attitude and approach of millions towards people, life and inculcate a sense of belongingness and brotherhood amongst them.
In this carnage the countrywide show of unity and involvement was unprecedented. Though late, but this imperative aspect has finally aroused in the citizens of the country widespread. Such inexorable cycle of violence had been given undue footage solely due to the presence of highly recalcitrant citizens who were previously immune to the sufferings of any other than their own family, friends or relatives. Such overt and prodigious show of emotions and concern has finally let those nefarious enemies know that this can’t continue for long and there has to be a definite stop to this.
Such a wide sweep of savagery has finally prompted us to recognize the enormity of the threat. The proponent has successfully been smashed on their face with vital piece of information stating that we are now an intrepid society and absolutely cannot be harassed any further.

Due to such large scale show of emotions, protests, rallies, discussions with serious food for thought and anger that has creeped in the minds and hearts of millions, letting go of innocent lives, though forcefully has rung a bell loud and clear in the ears of the entire media, politicians and eminent society members.
There is another positive side to the post crises healing. We become less class conscious. That was evident in the standing ovation the Taj Mahal hotel staff received from guests invited to the reopening and also from the fact that not many could – or wanted to- hide the dampness in their eyes. We wouldn’t walk into a hotel or restaurant again without treating the staff with greater respect then before. If the ghastly attack on Mumbai has any silver linings, these are the ones.
And if it takes moment of madness to make us a kinder, gentler, more equal society, then let the healing process be a longer one.
