26. MY OPINION
• Ragging is analogous to harassment. Any sort of harassment, whether verbal,
physical, emotional, mental etc.
diminishes an individual, creates mental blockades, pushes him/her towards
depression and is thus harmful. Amiable interaction and motivate an individual
rather than ragging.
RAGGING IS A CRIME.
SO,
HATE RAGGING:MAKE FRIENDSHIP
