View: The state of university unions must be addressed
Last week Kolkata was rocked by the death of a 17-year-old first year student of Jadavpur University, ranked fourth among the top 100 nationally. He had been humiliated, intimidated and tormented in the name of "ragging" in one of the hostels by a bunch of seniors and ex-students, leading him to jump off, fall off or be pushed off the second floor, stark naked. The culprits then prevented police from entering the campus and tried to force the juniors to lie about it.
