Who is to be blamed for all these new rules and restrictions on hostel nights and the other stuff? The administration? I don't think so. There was another suicide recently and though I don't know any details about that, I believe that the admin is going to be questioned. Whenever a student commits suicide or gets addicted to something or does something crazy, the admin is held responsible for that. We may not think so, but the parents and the media do. When someone goes to the dean and asks him, “there are a lot of students committing suicide, what are you doing about that?”, he can't just say, “well, they are adults and we treat them like that. They have the freedom to make their choices and they can kill themselves if they want to. I don't want to do anything about it.” And also, the admin also has to be accountable for the general quality of acads in the insti.
“the admin of the insti is responsible for _____” actually translates to “the admin must take necessary measures to make sure that ____ is corrected”. If we hold the admin responsible for this stuff, then we're also giving them the right to take whatever action they have to. Obviously, you can't hold someone responsible for something if they don't have control over it. The hostel night tradition has been there for a long time. Just a few years back, there was a lot of freedom too. Ragging wasn't so serious an issue. What happened suddenly to all that? Why did the admin have to screw us up so bad? There may be some profs who are too conservative and who always want to pain students, but we know its not that just a few profs have made all this happen. Its a shift in the insti policy. Someone has to be responsible for that, and who is if it's not the admin?
My opinion, its all those dumba**es who can't take care of themselves. Some guy boozes and fags and pains everyone around him. Some guy screws his acads up. Some guys are just putting weed all day. Some girl goes on some kinda adventure and gets raped. Some student kills himself. A lot of us are sensible enough to know what is ok to be done and what is not. We say we want the freedom to do whatever we want, we are all adults and we should be treated like that. The admin would grant us this freedom, we all know that it was there till a few years back. And then these d***heads who don't know s**t about anything would screw up. That's, it. Some dumb kid screws it up for all of us. The only reason that the admin holds responsible for it: the freedom we have, to do what we want to do. And they do the obvious thing to do- take the freedom away.
The attendance rule was enforced because junta wouldn't turn up for classes. LAN cut is implemented because junta just keep playing games all night and bunk classes and the quality of acads seems to be affected by that. You may have the freedom to play games all night, but if you don't attend classes and screw up acads, the admin is held responsible for that. And thanks to these guys, I now have to attend classes I don't feel like attending and there's no internet when I need to look up about something.
Obviously, there is very little, if not totally zero, boozing and fagging and f**king happening this time during hostel nights. So the admin's plan did work. They have managed to stop these dumb kids from going crazy. The cost of controlling these dumb kids is that the rest of us who know how to control ourselves lost all our freedom. Whenever some crazy policy that takes away our freedom comes into force, remember that it is not the admin that is to be blamed. Blame all the dumb kids around you who can't take care of themselves.
