00:00Modern debates, especially in the news channel, have turned into loud arguments rather than of something meaningful.
00:07In ancient times, we saw that Shankaracharya or even Pocrates in the West, they engaged in debates and got not
00:15just wisdom, but also changed the world through it.

00:26The intent is sincere. The wife is the judge, Mandanmishra's wife.
00:33And she very impartially at one point says, hubby darling, you have lost it.

00:43She is listening to both of them and evaluating them on merit.
00:46And these two are also not sticking necessarily to their position.
00:50They are presenting their position and then keenly listening so as to determine the merit in the other's argument.
00:57And the moment they see that there is merit in the other's argument, they surrender.
01:02They say, yes, this I accept. This I accept.
01:05Because I'm not here to assert my ego.
01:08So that was what was meant by a debate then.
01:12What you have on the TV screen or on the streets is something very different.
