Ragging is banned in colleges in Tamil Nadu. I am sure that this must be the rule in other States in India also.
Since ragging inside the campus or hostel is checked now the students- seniors are resorting to a new way of ragging. Now ragging has gone online. A report in Times of India (November 8, 2011) says that new comers are taken to task by/for the the following;
1) Log in at the beck and call of seniors and stay online until ordered to leave.
2) Accept friend requests from seniors
3) Post funny/sarcastic status updates and tag fellow freshers and seniors
4) Asked to give out email id and password to seniors, following which they send out emails of malicious content.
I found the link for this page after a serious search. (I read hard copy TOI)

I suggest seniors who resort to such black mailing should be punished. they cannot ask for passwords and put the freshers into serious problems in future.

Yeah such type of black mailing must be stopped and concern authority has to take suitable precautions to help freshers.I think freshers also must be dare enough to say no to their seniors and worn them that ragging is banned and they will report this to police.

Ragging is not confined to physical torture or in the college/hostel premises only. Children should be told to manage such assaults and also refrain from making such things to other students.

Your age also tells that you may be a student. did you face any hardships when you were a student.
I was a student about forty years ago and in those ragging was not at all there. of course i was not staying in hostel.

This still happens? Quite frankly, this is horrifying. Today's society should be above this. We have the technology to prevent such actions, we have the facilities in place to punish offenders, we have laws established to prohibit such things; why then has humanity not become what it can and ceased to destroy itself?

an excellent statement. By such activities human beings degrade themselves and are destroying them. I thin in usa such incidents may not be there or it may be less.
