Abstract:
The Indian tradition of public debate goes back to the Vedic times. It involved different schools of thought, covered several areas such as philosophy, jurisprudence and medicine, and developed a distinct discipline of Vadshastra. This lecture traces the history of the tradition and analyzes the different forms of debate and their impact on India's intellectual life.
