Why Ragging should be stopped

If ragging is not fully stopped, ragging may lead to vulgar levels depending on the person who rags the other one. If the person who rags is vulgar minded and cruel, he will rag in third level (vulgar, dangerous, murderous physical hurting) which may lead to both persons destruction and the culprit will go to imprisonment, spoiling his career.

This is commented based on an incident happened in Kerala in the mid of November 2005 at Medical College Nursing School, Kottayam, where a young girl was raped cruelly by her senior students in the name of ragging. She was brave enough to bring it before law and now all the culprits are in police custody.
