On the 17th
of this month, Sophia Club conducted an extempore competition where the speakers
were judged both on their knowledge of philosophy and the ability to express
their thoughts. The competition was held in two stages.

The first stage, which
was the qualifying round was a quiz on modern and Indian philosophy. The quiz was
mind grilling and six out of ten teams qualified for the next round that was
the extempore. The extempore was a little different than the
conventional kind as a team of speakers had to take a topic each from the two
topic bowls and the second speaker had to connect to what the first speaker had
delivered. The topic bowls had a number of topics like women of today, social
media in a democracy, Donald Trump’s presidency, Indian education system and
many more which were worked upon with meticulous effort by the speakers.
