This edition of the debate is significant because this year the universities in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Thailand have stepped in as well. Conducted in Parliamentary style, the debate is both academically intriguing and culturally enriching on a number of levels.
It also provides an opportunity to students to have different perspectives on matters about which they are passionate. Most sessions are intellectually and culturally stimulating.
