There is nothing good about this.I went to University of Kelaniya. My whole first year was about getting ragged, individually and groupwise. Not only from my faculty, but also from other faculties. So yes, I have experienced this.I saw several posts saying how rag helped them to learn names of their friends and places in the uni. Funny how students who excelled in A/Levels without being abused into doing it find rag as the ultimate way to learn some names. Some people also found rag to be one of the best memories in University life. What this means you haven't explored any of the activities available at the university. Do a sport, join a club, organize some events, fall in love! Do them and then lets talk about best memories of University.Another thing is dress code, which aims at creating some equality within the students? Birds of a feather flock together. Irrespective of wearing same type of clothes, certain type of students will only associate with like-minded people. Dress code does not build equality. And of course, dress code only applies for first year, so from second year onwards it's back to normal. What if a certain student does not like the dress code? What if that student feels uncomfortable in that, that ruins that student's social skills. That affects the student's behaviors. Dress code too is an abusive tool. People should be able to wear anything that they feel comfortable in.Apart from learning names, dress codes there is also getting scolded for no reason, sometime in filth. So men do this primarily for three reasons, most of the reasons revolve around girls and none of it revolves around building equality or batch spirit. Let me further elaborate on these reasons.1. To find a romantic partnerHow exactly does scolding help with this? Well there are several strategies. One of them is Good Cop - Bad Cop strategy, where few people scold a girl, and one person console her/make her feel better. The move from one emotion to the next was so extreme that girls became disoriented, and their ability to think critical simply switched off. It is called the "fear-then-relief response by researchers.2. To destroy the personality of girls who are out of their league. This is purely being jealous about what they can't achieve. This is why they scold more for 'posh' looking girls, girls who speak english and girls who wear trendy clothes. They know they can't be with them, ever. So they become frustrated and angry about themselves , their own personality and achievements. They let out this frustration by scolding these type of girls.3. To reduce self confidence of boys. So these seniors identify potential romantic partner from the freshers, and if they feel like one of the boys from the freshers batch is likely to get romantically involved with their target, they humiliate him infront of her, they destroy his personality. Sometimes it even gets physical. They play Good Cop Bad Cop with boys as well, to be friend with a boy and learn more info about their potential romantic partner. Another aspect of this is to be dominant over the freshers, to have certain control over them so that you can convert them to any movement(political mostly) that you believe in.So that's my experience about Ragging culture in University of Kelaniya. Rag destroys people, their energy and self confidence. It should not be part of University Culture, Period!-FB</blockquote>
