Letters-66: "On Ragging-2"

1. The Supreme Court's observation that the time has come for cutting off financial aid to institutions that do not comply with its directions to put down ragging is sure to act as a deterrent. The college managements, it is hoped, will comply with the directions at least for fear of losing financial aid. - N.Vivekananda Rao, Hyderabad.

2. Ragging has become the worst manner of interaction between new entrants and seniors. The death of Aman Kachroo and the suicide attempt by a student in Andhra Pradesh are condemnable. They expose the indifference of the college authorities. But cutting off financial aid alone will not have the desired effect. Colleges which fail to curb ragging should be closed down. - Suman Kukal, Chandigarh.

3. Over time, ragging has evolved into some sort of organised crime. it is time to conclusively do away with the practice. Aman's death should serve as a wake-up call to society. Besides enacting a Central law banning ragging, a social movement against the practice should be launched. - Rakesh Chourasia, New Delhi.

4. The only way to end this menace is stringent punishment for not only the offenders but also those at the helm of affairs in the college. Parents can also do a lot to prevent ragging. If their children are good enough to get into professional colleges, they should understand that juniors are also human. Parent should impress this idea upon their wards. - Rebecca Thomas, Mylapra.

  3. Oils, beverages and Paleo sweets should also be used in moderate quantities and also keep in mind that Paleo diet food list
    does not contain in it all processed foods made out of
    dairy products, powdered milk, ice creams,
    cereal grains and legumes and should be avoided. Pizza
    crust, bread, pancakes, and any food that contain sugar should be taken out and erased from the list of foods one
    can eat. Nuts(non processed) - Nuts are cholesterol free and eating one ounce per
    day reduces the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
