An admirable message

Kudos to Mr. Shuva Das for the humanitarian letter titled 'Ragging in public universities must be stopped', published in your newspaper on February 1.

Do parents send their children to colleges to get physically abused by cruel and uncivilised classmates? The menace of ragging is indeed increasing. However, far from being punished, the offenders meet no consequences for their actions on most occasions.  As a result, they continue to torture innocent juniors without any hesitation.

Ragging leaves a permanent mark on a victim's psyche. Educational institutions must take actions to curb this cruel trend.
