Verbattle Senior Preamble

Since the time man found the way to express with words, and developed enough to understand others' words, speech; in its presence or absence, has played an important role in the development and evolution of the human society.

Speech has always been seen with the power to bring someone towards a person or the effect to take a person away from one.

Speech played such an important role in the human society that people grouped themselves on the basis of their language, their ideas as expressed in their speech, and their interests as they were passed on verbally.

Speech in human history has become the biggest uniting or dividing factor and to a great extent an instrument for change.

Speech is the only human faculty by which a human being has found a compelling way to influence another human being particularly with its power on emotions and its ability to touch the ego. Speech has become the universal common medium for exchange of thoughts ideas, feelings, demands and desires.

Speech is a facility that can be employed by a human to connect with any other human being. Speech gives the identity to the self and speech at its collective best at the macro level gives birth to the best system of governance and attempt for social order called democracy.

The hallmark of democracy being that the difference between human beings is seen through speech and at the same time unity is achieved through speech, and all human weaknesses, failings, strengths and divinity are expressed through speech.

The most superior human ability, speech, manifests itself in a democratic society as a healthy debate between right thinking individuals.

To imagine a vibrant society without healthy debate is like imagining a glorious symphony without sound.

India, the biggest democracy in the world is proud of the fact that a country of one billion, with nations within the nation where landscape, culture and language change every hundred kilometers, has still remained united only through the biggest interaction of politically expressed differences, by way of debates in this living democracy.

The soul of India is its democracy and the heartbeat must be the debates, that give hope for every citizen to be heard and his ideas represented.

Verbattle is just a small contribution towards making the future of the Indian democracy, better and stronger and the political and social debates more qualitative and meaningful. Preparing the youth of today for the debates of the future, only can strengthen everyone's hope for a better society tomorrow and a greater nation for all of us.

Verbattle though a competition, with fun and competitive spirit, has a subtle purpose to attempt to awaken the superior human spirit in the youth it attempts to reach. Verbattle of today is a an instrument for tomorrow.
