Debate promotes democratic values and youth empowerment: Experts
Bengaluru: Speak for India Karnataka edition received widespread appreciation for promoting a space for open speech and discussion among youth. Revenue minister Krishna Byre Gowda, who was the chief guest at 2025 edition Tuesday, asserted the need for such engagements for democracy to thrive. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Democracy is under threat today. Irrespective of the pitfalls of democracy, it's still far better than any other form of governance. Eternal vigilance is the only guarantor of democracy. To have that democratic spirit, we need debate, discussions, agreements and disagreements, agreeing to disagree; these are essential aspects of a democracy," he said. "Dogmas lead to autocracy, and autocracy leads to dictatorship. Dictatorship leads to exploitation and suppression of people. To prevent that, we need to be eternally vigilant, for which we need to have an open mind," he said. Fr Augustine George, principal of Kristu Jayanti College, said: "This is not just a debate; I feel it is a movement — a movement that empowers voices, nurtures leadership, and builds qualities. It is not just a platform to speak. It is a celebration of democracy and intellectual courage. It gives our students and youth a chance to express their views on topics that are relevant and will shape our nation," he said, adding that it helps in cultivating critical thinking, encouraging research, and promoting healthy argumentation. ———————- Copy 3: Quote Hangers: Dileep B, zonal head, Federal Bank, Bengaluru: "When we started in 2014, there was a candidate who was visually-challenged and he reached the semi-finals. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Then he went back, cracked the civil service examination, and became an IAS officer. And in 2019, he came back to Speak for India — not as a candidate, but as a judge for the finals. This is a classic and motivating example for all of us. Many participants in yesteryears have reached prominent positions in various fields." Milana Nagaraj, Actor: "While we get invited to functions like inaugurations or dance competitions or modelling, debating is rare. I think it's a great opportunity and a great platform for students. It was such an entertaining debate here. I really liked the confidence of the participants on the stage." K Narayana Gowda, ex-vice chancellor, University of Agricultural Sciences and judge at event: "All the three topics that were identified were timely and contemporary. A lot of thought process has gone into it and the young generation ought to be made fully aware of these topics. I congratulate each contestant; they're truly an inspiration to all others. It is very essential to take part in this type of activity because it engages your mind."
