24 X 7 ANTI RAGGING HELPLINE
Ragging in India is a damaging form of interaction of the
seniors in college or school with the juniors, newcomers or first years. It is
similar to but not the same as hazing in the United States, it is not an
initiation. It involves insults (simple or suggestive sexual, sarcastic and
even physical), running errands for seniors, and many other complex activities.
Highly reputed Indian colleges have a history of ragging especially Medical
colleges. It has become increasingly unpopular due to several complaints of
serious injury to the victims and strict laws regarding ragging. Ragging is now
defined as an act that violates or is perceived to violate an individual
student's dignity.
Following Supreme Court orders a National Anti-Ragging
Helpline was launched by the Indian Government. Students being ragged send
emails at helpline@antiragging.in to register their complaint,[1] which can be
registered without disclosing the name(s) of the victim(s). If the students
wants, he or she may even complain without disclosing his or her name,[2] by
making an anonymous email id, or by calling the helpline number 1800-180-5522.
Effective action is taken by the helpline for the complaints registered to it.
Many students even commit suicide due to ragging. It may even damage the mental
ability of the students .Some people believe that ragging should be banned but
some feel that it is a good way of making fresh entrants feel at home in school
or in college
