TISB DEBATE Brochure

LETTER from the
CHIEF ORGANIZER
Dear debaters,
It is my absolute honor to bring to you the first edition of TISB DEBATE. TISB’s
previous debating endeavours have been incredible and filled with national debaters
(and a WSDC Best Speaker). Having continuously contributed to the Indian
debating circuit, we now look to contribute in another way. As one of India’s top 3
schools in debate - we find it our responsibility to provide a platform for all students
to expose themselves to the unscalable realm of debate in February.
Debate has countless benefits. Not only does it test your critical thinking and
argumentation skills, it also challenges you beyond just a mental level.
Communication skills - vital in this modern world - are embedded in debaters. I’ve
been in situations where only my negotiation, persuasion and communication helped
me, and it would be wrong for me to not present an opportunity to all debaters to
similarly develop these skills. Debate builds teamwork, leadership and confidence
and I hope every debater takes something away from the conference. Remember,
awards aren’t as important as your own personal growth, and our organizing team
will ensure that we can provide you with the best experience possible.
I remember being a scared debater in national selections 3 years ago, wondering how
my MUN background can help me. Yet, I soon noticed, that I would have to relearn
everything I knew about giving speeches. I remember iron-manning in international
tournaments, gasping for every breath at national camp and busting my brains every
debate tournament I attend. It is difficult, but the sense of accomplishment you feel
when a round is over is impeccable. It is a rabbithole, it is my rabbithole, and I can’t
remember how long I’ve waited to present this competition to you. I hope to see you
all on February 17-18th, 2024, and don’t forget to give your best and make sure to
learn something, regardless of the results.
Signing off (for now),
Yash Iyer
Chief Organizer
