After watching today's episode, one very distinct trait of Yuvraaj's personality came into light - his overbearing ego. A few episodes ago, we saw how his fellow batch mates triggered his silent ego by alleging him of having feelings for Suvreen. Since then our in-house cheetah has been hell built on proving them wrong (and to some extent, himself) by causing trouble/humiliation for Suvreen whenever possible.
What was, until today, trouble-making in it's innocent form, blasted out of the boundaries of 'acceptable' and became ruthless torture. All of this, just to massage a bruised ego? Just to prove a point and to maintain a particular 'image'? We have all witnessed Yuvraaj's sensitive side during the hunger strike phase. The way he stood by Suvreen as her silent support clearly showed that he did possess a conscience. Where has that sensitivity gone? It's one thing to rag juniors for the fun of it, it's an entirely different thing to take out personal grudges and vendettas in the name of ragging.
However, I am impressed with the way the creatives have liberally shown the vicious side of ragging in the show. Unfortunately, ragging is a menace that still continues to flourish in most colleges. I have to say though, that DU is mostly ragging-free and there are hardly any colleges that indulge in hardcore ragging anymore. It is now limited to medical and engineering colleges.
I hope Yuvraaj has some redeeming qualities that can make me like him once more.
