Understanding ragging .
Ragging is a social fact of an environment where there is persistent fear, threat of violence and a complete subordination and power over juniors by seniors. .
STOP THE MENACE: Activists protest against the death of Aman Kachroo, a medical student in Himachal Pradesh. Beneath every reported case of ragging lies an unimaginable pile of cases unheard, unattended and unsolved. .
Love thy juniors. Quite a simple precept. But when it comes to practice it fades out as a mere rhetoric and takes the shape of ragging in educational institutions. Interestingly, there exists an entrapping conundrum in the ragging discourse that now virtually everyone rejects the idea of defending ragging, but it is practised virtually everywhere with burgeoning impunity. Beneath every reported incident of ragging lies an unimaginable pile of cases unheard, unattended and unsolved. .
Ragging is seemingly one of the worst forms of human rights abuse that takes socially and legally unacceptable patterns of physical, sexual and mental torture and drug abuse. In some cases, the brutality is so severe that either the victim commits suicide or it results in death. For instance, Aman Kachroo, who died due to ragging at the Tanda medical college, was continuously beaten up and tortured for almost two-and-a-half hours. Though ragging conjures up an image of teasing, as it literally means, it is a social fact of an environment where there is persistent fear, threat of violence and eventually a complete subordination and power over the juniors by the seniors. .
Educational institutions, universities and colleges, being the active agents of social transformation, are at the core of the dynamics of institutional interactional processes of civil society. And civil society, which is not a homogeneous society, is a stage where the dialectics between the social and the political, domination and resistance and oppression and emancipation is played out. Therefore, not all but some juniors are targeted, as they are perceived as weak, vulnerable and pliant maybe in terms of gender, religion, caste, class and ethnicity. In the case of Aman, it was between modernity and local conservatism. Aman was smart, good looking, having a charismatic personality (won many prizes in the college academic and cultural activities) and, above all, he used to speak English with a tinge of accent (he studied abroad for sometime). All these qualities, particularly the last one, made him vulnerable and weak in the eyes of local goon-students. Being modern and progressive, I realised during my discussion with the medicos there, has its own flip-side, so much so that it renders the putative support structures of modern civilised society attack-structures for those who dare to think and do things against the conservative mores, culture and lifestyles. .
Educational institutions are a very significant part of the larger public sphere. Even colleges in remote areas are connected with the socio-cultural milieu of the metropolis and vice versa, thanks to the Internet and communication revolution. So these colleges cannot escape the psycho-social values prevalent in our society. Particularly two aspects of the value system, among many, need to be taken serious cognisance of: the idea of masculinity as it is practised and as it ought to be and secondly, the notion of institutional democracy as a lasting solution for the scourge of ragging. .
Those who indulge in ragging in educational institutions are a bunch of hoodlums, mostly male, who have their own shared sense of masculinity. For them, it is the way to attract girl students first and then the rest by exhibiting force, domination, hegemony, sadomasochism and, of course, body (a la Salman Khan) to establish themselves as superior beings just because they were born one or two years before the tormented. Perhaps, one can link these ideas of masculinity being reproduced as rites of passage in colleges with patriarchy and gerontocracy that promote and sustain the kind of masculinity which is aggressive, violent, intolerant, non-consensual and sexually charged. Instead, masculinity ought to mean men being gentlemen, tolerant, sober, consensual, creative by using mind and not floundering body and, above all, trustworthy. .
Students, like citizens, have equal claims to utilise the college space and facility because a) they pay for their habitat and studies in the college almost equally, b) they receive knowledge and wisdom together from the same teacher and c) all are bound in a shared small world by a sense .

As we get ready for the holidays, I’m reminded of the importance of breaking bread with each other, to strengthen our bonds and deepen our understanding.
With that in mind, here’s a short video I created about Come to the Table, an exceptional program held every month in Marin City. Last month’s community event brought together Marin City and nearby residents to discuss education and caring for our kids.
This inspiring gathering helped bridge the gap between our diverse communities: I had a chance to sit down with wonderful educational leaders in Marin City before their panel discussion: Bettie Hodges, La Resha Huffman, Stevie Lee – and poet Ronnie Striplen. I learned a lot from our conversation about helping more kids learn by engaging the whole community in the process.
Come to the Table is hosted by Rev. Floyd Thompkins, the charismatic pastor of St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Marin City. He started these monthly dinner conversations as “a bridge for relationships,” to break down perceived barriers between predominantly wealthy and white Marin County residents and their disadvantaged neighbors in Marin City.
Their campus keeps growing into a vibrant community hub, which now includes a new pre-K school and a popular maker space (led by Etienne Douglas with the Marin County Free Library). And gracious volunteers like our friends Barbara Bogard, Anne Devero-Rosenfeld and Nancy Miller make these great community events possible.

At a time when our national politics divide our country more than ever, local community events like “Come to the Table" offer a much-needed alternative. This gathering was a wonderful way to connect with neighbors outside our usual circles and solve issues together, sharing ideas we might not have considered before. It inspired me to help improve the lives of Marin City residents in coming years and support their leaders.
