I know ragging is illegal. But have you ever experienced it?
For me, it happened during my second year — because that’s when we shifted hostels and started living with seniors.
I was scared.
I didn’t know how to say no.
It wasn’t physical or verbal abuse. But it was a bunch of dares — things I didn’t like doing.
Dancing, singing, drama… they may sound fun to some. But when you’re forced to do something you’re uncomfortable with, isn’t that still ragging?
It made me question: Where’s the line between fun and fear? If I say no and I’m still pushed, does it count as ragging?
I’m curious to know —
What’s your experience with ragging?
Let’s create a safe space to talk.
Ragging was made to feel like a ‘rite of passage’ on entering medical college for us.
This was of course almost 10 years ago, the rules and measures have become very strict now, and almost all medical colleges hold a zero tolerance policy.
Some peers who couldn’t take the humiliation and pressure also dropped out of medical college eventually.
It is something which shouldn’t be looked away by staff as well.
It shouldn’t be tolerated, Nowadays colleges are being serious and they take strict actions against it. In our college there’s not a single case of ragging atleast, be vocal then it won’t take much time to stop.
It is ragging and the staff must take actions and please dont be scared to tell the authority cuz today this might be small acts but we can’t take guarantee for what’s coming tomorrow.
Something we are forced to do by others, even we are not interested comes unde ragging.
This want to be reported to the authorities so that it should not be followed by them further with others.
Silence in this situation may worsen the condition further.
Respective authorities should take strict actions against it.
Where’s the line between fun and fear?
