Ragging of a fresher in New Delhi

What an aweful ritual. I can't believe college students subject their selves to these rituals. I also can't believe that any with a concience would do such a thing to another human being. It is just sick.

yes - it certainly is sick ... and a terrible way to introduce a fresher to college life ... it happens regularly and usually the culprits have enough influence to pash these sordid tales under the carpets...

It does happen in the Philippines also, they call it hazing to initiate a student into a secret fraternity. About 10 years ago a group of male students in UP DILIMAN in Manila killed a law student by convincing him that he has to submit to being bashed by lumps of wood and planks beforehe could join the fraternity. He was a bright student, may have been bitbrighter than them and could have become a lawyer except they bashed himto death and people went to prison for murder as a result. Two years ago a similar thing happened to another student in the same universitybut the student survived because somebody saw a group with lumps of wood bashing him. They were all arrested for hazing and they are stillin jail without a trial because it was deemed attempted murder. Teachers were reprimanded by the national government for turning theirbacks and allowing these things to happen. One of the teachers said, we take no notice of these things because they happen a lot and they are usually harmless. The survivor was scared for life. 8/9/2009.

that is about fraternities ... but the ragging happens to freshers in colleges and they have to accept it with a smiling face ... or bear the humiliation for life ...
