Continues
from the previous post –
“Do
you know what Arun did? He
simply asked the devil, I mean, that senior student who was involved
in ragging; a straight question. He asked him and on that, he
admitted that if other senior students interfere and stop the ragger
boys, they will not be able to do any ragging and he squarely put the
blame on other indifferent senior students for this practice of
ragging”!
“Ragging
whether in the college or in the hostel all are possible because
other senior students particularly those, who are the most senior of
all, such as students of post graduate level or even at graduate
level do not object to such acts. All raggers are sensitive, guilty
conscious, and can be easily stopped by these students rather than
any other agency. Since seniority is the excuse used by we boys to
pester junior boys only other more senior students can remedy this
wicked practice of ragging”. The senior student and ragger
explained further.
“So,
we have found the answer to this iniquitous problem pestering present
college life. What is required is an auto control by the student
community itself and that is just enough to terminate this dirty
practice. No need for any separate law or police interference”.
Mahesh declares with a winning smile, throwing his both hands up.
Then
mischievously he adds as a murmur, “There is no need for counseling
of these boys, what they need is an appropriate deterrent; which
comes from the fellow senior students and nobody else, this clearly
proves me correct. OK”!
Vibhawari
looks annoyed and shouts at all the boys, “You men are same all the
time, will never improve”!!
On
that all the boys roar with a big guffaw.
Scene
of a road out side the chawl of Arun and Seema. Arun is shown coming
from outside and there Seema and Tanya are waiting to meet him. The
girls are shown in a very joyous mood Seema swaying merrily and
carries a small notebook in her right hand. It appears that she is
hiding it behind her and by that time, we see Arun has reached the
entrance of the chawl. Both girls thrust themselves with Seema ahead
and Tanya behind her; the girls greet him with sweet smiles and shyly
Seema produces the notebook, which is actually the progress book of
Seema, to Arun. He is not aware of this and looks shocked at the way
Seema advances on him, he stops abruptly, looking to her good mood
and his sister behind giggling, Arun looks blasé, slowly advances
his hand to take the book, opens it while looking to Seema
inquisitively, sees it and a pleasant smile flashes on his face. He
sees Seema had first rank in the exam. Arun looks up and he is shown
repeatedly smiling to himself. His experiment on Seema was
successful.
In
next meeting of the group, Arun proudly tells that their experiment
of improving confidence of Seema in her capacity to do her studies
independently. They also take note of the final solution to the
problem of ragging in colleges. After that was satisfactorily proven,
Vibhawari came up with new problem that is pestering society. She
stood and asked her group about ragging that is seen in houses
amongst senior siblings troubling junior siblings, husbands troubling
wives, daughter-in-laws and mother in laws fighting to control their
husband or son.
