Guys more or less, but random shit like sing songs, make a train (lining one after the other) and dance around, but this is never extreme.
And at the risk of overemphasis, there is a rule of "uncomfortable" at nalsar - if you are uncomfortable by any interaction with the seniors, you can just state you are uncomfortable and leave.
File one set in person & another by registered post & write home address on post acknowledgment.
This is coming from personal experience. I was mildly abused and made to feel helpless by my immediate seniors. They used to wake us up at odd hours and asked us to do weird things. Sometimes they would just launch into unnecessary preachy speeches which we obviously had no interest in but all we could do is stand and listen. They think of it as fun when in reality all of it is unnecessary torture. And all of this is actually true, this happened with me.
Just turn to sbsee zyada senior students when this shit happens...
Ps:- if you're a girl then i have no idea...
That said, if you are found to be disrespectful to your professors or engaging in discriminatory/problematic conduct, you can expect seniors to have a few issues with that.
Regarding ragging, I can attest there is definitely ragging in nalsar. I've heard it first hand, juniors made to sing, etc. You might not consider them 'hard ragging' and consider them as normal bonding activity, but nevertheless imo it comes under ragging.
Lastly, more of an anecdoatal incident. When I went to nalsar for some competition I sensed some power dynamics there. Like in one of the interactions, during an event, one of the juniors joked around with a senior and the seniors reaction was 'tell me your name so I can get you kicked out'
Now I understand this is just one incident, and may not be normal in nalsar. But it does tell you that such incidents do happen.
