Call for entries

We are looking for original articles, anywhere between
a paragraph to 
2,000 words long, on the subject of ragging. Articles
should be more 
fact than opinion, and should tell the story of how
you or some 
acquaintance of yours ragged or was ragged at the
undergraduate 
level. 

You can choose to write under your name, a pseudonym
or anonymously. 
We will guard your identity with our lives if you want
us to do so. 
All we want you to do is to speak up, speak out. We
can't pay you for 
the article as we are an upstart NGO. Your
contribution will be in a 
Dossier on Ragging in India, made available on the Net
in our website 
(under construction) and in a CD made available to
leading media 
organisations, journalists, researchers, legal
experts, academicians 
and anyone who asks for it.

Some pointers of what you could include your article:

* name of the college;
* year(s) of the incident;
* degree and kind of ragging, with specific details;
* whether or not the ragging was sexual (stripping and
beyond, 
details required);
* particular traditions of ragging in the institution
mentioned;
* the time-period through which ragging continues;
* how did the writer take in this ragging: good, bad
or ugly;
* how did the college administration react: ignorance,
inertia, 
acting upon complaints; pre-emptive action;
* how, if at all, anti-ragging laws affected ragging
in the 
institution;
* did you initially regret ragging or you disliked it
all along;
* did you rag? why? how?

DEADLINE: Sunday, 13 June 2004.
