Satya Vyas’s 2015 bestselling campus novel Banaras Talkies—telling the stories of three undergraduate friends who have just started law school—has recently been translated into English by Himadri Agarwal and is full of humor, wit, and undergraduate antics.
As these first year law students enter the Banaras Hindu University (BHU), the seniors at the school put them through ragging, or hazing, to initiate them into the Law School.
 
The first years are ordered to infiltrate the women’s dormitory and take something that’s decidedly female. Upon success, one of the seniors speaks about ragad, the Banarasi name for ragging or hazing.
