Ragging in India is legally defined as any disorderly conduct that causes annoyance, hardship, or psychological harm to students. The Supreme Court has laid out guidelines against ragging, including undertakings signed by students and parents, and procedures for addressing ragging incidents. A committee recommended ragging be treated as a human rights abuse and all stakeholders be made aware. Punishments for those engaging in ragging include suspension, withholding of benefits and results, debarring from college activities, and expulsion. The solution lies with students themselves ending this inhuman practice.
