[Reader-list] Why do Schools and Colleges in India Kill?

[Rakesh Iyer]

Dear all

What one has to look at ragging at is both from the point of view of the
ragger and the ragged (If i were allowed to use those terms that is). So on
that question, I feel the ragger does it for his enjoyment, while the ragged
does it so that he can get in the good books of the ragger which can help
him in future. And as I had said earlier, in hindsight it helps as our
society is extremely insensitive to our plight, which is why this ensures
the ragged in future, don't get affected too much emotionally in many cases.


Regarding violence, there can't be one particular reason alone as to why
this happens. May be the tendencies to enjoy at the cost of others is too
much to resist. Probably feudalism and majoritarianism of senior-junior kind
is also too much to resist. I don't know what to say about its causes. What
however it does show is the way our society is constructed.

We are a society where slowly even the sympathy for oneself is
deteriorating. It could have been a big help if we could have changed the
very fundamentals here of our society's base. And the way we are going, this
would only lead to dooms' day.
