Re: [MTC Global] ragging in the institutions

We always have a habit of blaming the West for all evils. The mysterious foreign hand or the western influences are a handy tool for passing the buck. History shows that whenever there has been association of people...there has always been a divide in the group and one dominant group would always try to intimidate the other mentally superior group by indulging in bullying techniques which would then pass the code of discipline and enter the domain of physical/violent attempt at hurting to bring the person or group to submission. Its not just in India alone....this syndrome is Universal. Haven't we read how Eklavya the tribal marksman who was better than Arjun was denounced by his Guru Dronacharya who wanted his pet student Arjun to excel and for this he asked for Eklavya's Thumb as Guru Dakshina thereby rendering Eklavya's skill to be secondary.....there was No British Public School at that time... But with the passage of time and with tempers at short fuse....the bullying has now taken the form of Rage which has often resulted in suicides by victims which has awakened the morals and conscience of societies whose pressures have ensured that Management wake up to denounce and punish raggers and bullies. Mostly the bullies....( as per my observation ) are mostly from Rich families where their parents haven't shared the moral values properly with their children due to lack of time....and the arrogance perhaps is in the DNA which could be the cause of the children being careless and carefree to the extent that they have lost the fear of Law & Rules.

Ragging is and has always been a horrendous exercise and a safe way for bullies to harass soft targets.

 

It probably arrived in India by way of the British public school.

 

I'm glad that various constitutional authorities have taken strong exception to ragging and many institutions have stamped it out and one such institution is the IIT at Roorkee, where I spent some time a short while ago.

 

As teachers we need to have zero tolerance to this poor practice and clearly understand that there is no good & bad ragging.

 

Cheers....
