How many of you ragged in your University days? Share your experience here. Is ragging important to the students or not? Is there any benefits from the **** ragging?

How many of you ragged in your University days? Share your experience here. Is ragging important to the students or not? Is there any benefits from the **** ragging?

Can you share us your experience first?

Yeah Sure, Why not? We have to wear long skirt & blouse with oiled and plaited hair as our dresscode fpr a period . Really that dress code is very uncomfortable for me and my friends too. The worst thing in the ragging period is card name.

Seniors assign the demeaning nickname to the Juniors and they have to be called by that name throughout their entire University life. In some Universities, they have to tell a poem which contains bad words and recite in front of all.

Really I hate this thing in my entire life. Still, I hate some seniors for this ragging. There are so many stories are there to share with you guys. BUt, This is the worst thing of Ragging.

everything is best in a limit. You are right in your argument. Why do you think it's necessory for university students?

Now I've got a huge sinhala friends circle and I learnt that talking doesn't always need a language. I even talked in sign language,trust me. We wore the skirts and blouses and we had to write the full information of everyone in our batch and we need to know about every details of our university. Often our seniors start scolding us for no reasons and we had to tolerate everything. It's just the tip of the iceberg and there's more.

But the ragging season wasn't so bad to us as in all other universities. It taught us to be together and take care of everyone. Now looking back, it gives us a laugh, the way we scolded our seniors in our close friend circle, the late night gossips, last minute head count of batch etc etc.

Ragging may be wrong. But it gave us the bond with each other. Some universities make it too horrible, but ours was mediocre and awesome.

Nice to here this Shana, I think ragging was introduced with the purpose to remove the shyness and fear from the freshers and create good bonds in their university with their batch mates and seniors, isn't it?

True Assassin everything is perfect within the limits. As you said sometimes ragging necessary to remove shyness and fear from the freshers.

Well said Shan. Ragging helps to avoid discrimination in the university.And you are when tim pass we forget the pains and only remember the fond memories.
