Gregorian Debating Club Presents 15th GDC Nationals 2026 (Bangla)
Advertisement
Star Wars is more than a space opera; it is a modern myth. At its heart lies an eternal struggle: justice against tyranny, hope against despair, and the unbreakable spirit of the oppressed against the machinery of empire. Though its battles rage among distant stars, its soul belongs unmistakably to our own world. In every generation, new empires rise, new peoples are invaded, displaced, and silenced, and new rebels refuse to surrender.
From Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to US aggression against Iran and Lebanon, and to the genocide and ethnic cleansing committed by Israel against the Palestinian people, the world of Star Wars feels less like fantasy than a mirror held before history. Its message endures because oppression endures—but so does resistance. The Force may be fictional, yet the choice between empire and freedom, silence and solidarity, fear and courage remains profoundly real.
This year's 15th GDC Nationals 2026 draws inspiration from one of fiction's most enduring ideological conflicts—the struggle between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. Set in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars nevertheless confronts questions that have echoed throughout history and continue to shape our own world: order or liberty, authority or resistance, stability or revolution. Every era demands that we choose where we stand.
After a one-year hiatus, the Gregorian Debating Club proudly welcomes you back to the nation's premier debating championship, where Bangladesh's finest debaters once again gather to test their wit, conviction, and resolve. As participants descend upon the historic streets of Old Dhaka, the battlefield transforms—from starships to speeches, from blasters to arguments, and from war to words.
Across two premier segments, competitors will confront motions that demand intellectual rigor, strategic precision, and the courage to challenge convention. Every speech is a calculated maneuver, every rebuttal a collision of ideals, and every round a contest for influence. Here, victories are earned not through force, but through reason; not by commanding armies, but by commanding ideas.
Whether you pledge allegiance to the Empire or rally behind the Rebellion, the arena belongs to those bold enough to defend their convictions. Forge your legacy, command the floor, and let your arguments echo across the stars.
May the Odds be with you!
