The document discusses ragging, which is the traditional abuse and harassment of freshman students by senior students. It can include physical or mental harassment. Ragging was introduced to India by the British and has been practiced since ancient Greece. While mild ragging is argued to help bonding, severe ragging can cause mental trauma, fear, and in some cases death. Several students have died or committed suicide due to severe ragging. The document calls for efforts like awareness programs, cultural interaction events, and strict anti-ragging laws and enforcement to address the problem of ragging in colleges.
