]]> Comment on Ragging : a curse that just wont go. by Pulkit http://ranjeeth.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/ragging-a-curse-that-just-wont-go/#comment-2592 Pulkit Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:49:16 +0000 http://ranjeeth.wordpress.com/?p=144#comment-2592 I can relate strongly to most of your experiences. Fortunately, both the colleges I went to dealt with this menace quite sternly and I never had a shady experience as a fresher. But as a senior, I still had the odd altercation with those having fun at the cost of their juniors. The popular defense that ragging is "healthy" in terms of getting the juniors and seniors onto a common comfort zone, is simply a cover-up to the unacceptable act of deriving pleasure out of another chap's peace of mind. I know scores of people who have never been nasty and yet enjoy the most amicable relationship with their juniors. I don't find any merit in the argument of "expediting personal growth", either. All it does is to sap your constructive energy through increased stress, resulting in inferior growth, academically and otherwise. I can relate strongly to most of your experiences.

I think any religious issue is personal based upon our own understanding of the holy books.Whats happening is people try to rub their understanding of things on others!Because of such people and their inability to accept that they cannot understand the script the entire community gets a bad name. As they say Unlearning is tougher than Learning we face all these religious problems :) Chiru’s idea of social equality is good because 2 major castes who form may be 30% of the population control A.P’s politics.There is a need for an alternative.How is he implementing the idea is a different issue ?

So, if alcoholism is indeed the cause of concern, why bash women? Why not take men to the cleaners? I understand your point of view, about the biased media outlook, but if you go by the numbers, you would find that dowry harassment outnumbers the fake-dowry cases hands down (although I have first-hand knowledge of an incident of the latter kind). About the other point, I too can't stand the sight of a certain M F Hussain. But, my problem is with such individualistic things being turned into over-generalizations against the minority, increasing the likelihood of innocent Muslims being victimized.
