Using <strong>Emile Durkheim\u2019s theory of deviance<\/strong>, it represents an attempt by students to assert control in a <strong>normless (anomic) environment<\/strong>. The senior-junior power dynamic mirrors structural inequalities in wider society. <strong>According to Robert Merton\u2019s Strain Theory<\/strong>, ragging is a <strong>result of institutional pressure without legitimate means <\/strong>to assert status.

It mirrors the <strong>hierarchies of caste, class, gender, and power<\/strong>, reproduced even in the most educated institutions. A truly progressive education system cannot coexist with practices that dehumanize, marginalize, and silence students under the guise of tradition or bonding. To eliminate ragging, India must move beyond token legal mechanisms toward transformative cultural change\u2014where educational spaces become sites of equality, dignity, and empowerment, not intimidation. Sociological insight reminds us that change must begin with questioning normalized violence and holding institutions accountable. Only then can we reclaim our campuses as safe, inclusive, and nurturing environments that reflect the democratic ideals India aspires to.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Previous_Year_Questions\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Previous Year Questions <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Paper<\/span> I<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Explain the role of informal mechanisms of social control in perpetuating deviance among youth.
