Ragging is extremely bad. Some people claim that it does good to a person. It might happen in some rare cases but in majority of cases, the intention of senior is to show off their ego and to humiliate the juniors. I was also ragged once and most of my friends had to undergo much more humiliation. When I became senior, then I found that my juniors were afraid even to look at their seniors including me because they were afraid that they would be ragged. I did not want to do what wrong had happened to me. Therefore, I did not rag anybody. It does not mean that I did not meet my juniors. I did meet them sometimes in their rooms (in hostel) and sometimes in mine. But I never humiliated them. On the contrary, I guided them in their studies in whatever way I could. Initially they were very afraid when I wanted to meet them. But soon they started trusting me. Most of my batch mates made fun of me because I did not rag anybody. In their opinion, I did something stupid by not ragging but in my opinion I did the right thing. Anyway, different people have different opinions. Let me add that I did ask various questions to my juniors but I did not do anything to humiliate them. I used to ask them questions related to studies and helped them if they gave wrong answer or did not give the answer at all. If you want to call this as ragging, then it is different matter.
