What are its causes ?

One major reason behind the spreading out of this menace is the lack of moral values,especially among the youngsters. This lacking remains a black mark on a person's soul and mentality. They do not know how to act with other fellows like them. In places of higher education,especially where ragging is most prevalent,the senior student try to impose and show off their superiority over the junior ones..Inhuman acts and tortures are being inflicted on the poor sufferers of the menace. They are even made to play with their life. The act is more humiliating among boys than among girls. But ragging marks no discrimination with gender or caste. It is a matter of fun for the imposer to see the victim standing naked in front of the mob or to see him jumping from the 2^nd or even 4^th floor ,to see him eating black shoe polish in front of a mob. The victim thus prefers to close his eyes than to fall prey to these devilish hunters. Since it is fun for all the seniors so it cannot have any particular cause,it is simply an entertainment for the seniors.

Millions of student every year try to get selected in the best institutes but they don't know that it's a hell awaiting them. As soon as admission to technical and non-technical institutes starts, news of suicides starts pouring in from all parts of the country.To our amazement,it has become a nightmare so devilish that youth find more peace in death and they commit “SUICIDE”. But that is no matter at all,for who they are incorrigible can never be cured as “a snake which never forgets to bite even though fed with the costliest milk”.Ragging & their consequence have become the foremost headlines of newspapers these days.Every other day we come across news about suicide,missing and depression from every reputed institutes like IIT's,Medical Colleges,Engineering Colleges etc etc.

Even though we have a great deal about the fact ,still the menace grows.We criticise the authorities and government for having failed in taking appropriate action against such happening,without noticing that the four fingers pointing ourselves.To the utmost shameful act,frankly speaking many students are sexually tormented too and we the mere starers just click our tongue for a while and then forget about everything. And boldly speaking this is a new mentality where a mob gathers just to see a man being beaten up with out a reason.No one just even steps a toe to save such a life.When this is the mentality,do we deserve to be called responsible students?
