The art of ‘Debating’’ is finely linked to truth and oratory, which can positively influence the listener to make the right choices. Everyone is a winner in a debate, as the participant hones the skill at being persuasive without being authoritative, thinks critically without being swayed by popular notions, and appreciates divergent views with a presence of mind and gears up his language skills to match the horizons of his thoughts. Debate is a platform to engage in responsible dialogues, listen conscientiously and discern right from the wrong.​
