Around the same time, NALSAR was absolutely brutal for its ragging culture. One student was so traumatised that he left. Again, nothing happened to the culprits because of their connections. NUJS also had ugly incidents.
The turning point which led to a reduction in ragging was a case called the Aman Kachroo case, in 2009. A boy was brutally killed by his raggers in a medical college in Himachal. They were let off because if their connections. This led to a national outcry and PM Manmohan Singh personally intervened. A strict anti-ragging law was passed. Later, Aman Kachroo’s bullies were convicted by a court.

2. Deterence mechanism: Go to war, and war = all-out war. In other words, the verbal/metaphorical equivalent of exploding a dirty bomb in a fist fight. Only let it go in a way that is bad for a bully. Never forgive for their sake, only for yours. You need to prove beyond any possible doubt that you are the stronger. Nothing else will work.

A totally blind person who has repeatedly been bullied at school by fellow students and authority figures such as teachers and administrators.
1. Why it happens and what makes it happen: Why - insecurity. What - the perception that somebody is weaker than them.
2. What will deter: Nothing short of going to war. And when I say going to war, I mean the equivalent of exploding a dirty bomb at the scene of a fist fight.
(From somebody who has been on the receiving end of bullying since his school times.)
This made me wonder, what makes you guys bully people in college, workplace or other settings? Bullies of India, why do you bully?
What makes you target a particular person? What could potentially deter you from bullying?
From my experience, I have seen that bullies target weaker people than them to elevate their social status and gain approval in their group…
Usually, they target someone who stands out or is “different”…and also, people who stay alone tend to get bullied more as they don’t have social backing…
