The individual in this video is a competitive debater, and therefore the views expressed may not necessarily represent his/her beliefs. The motion was defeated. ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe. The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: https://oxford-union.org/supportus

What's the problem with these Indian people. She delivered a very good speech with lots of courage that most of us don't have. Give some appreciation instead of giving bad comments.
She has delivered a fantastic speech, her pronunciation is good and the confidence is mind blowing. She deserve a huge appreciation

I'm not an indian and idk her but I liked the way she delivered that speech and she deserves appreciation ❤
I am sure the other 3.5K (majority) likers don't have any problem with how she speaks, stands and delivers the speech. Only dumb people have concerns to these. You know there goes a saying "Empty vessels make the most noise". It takes a lot to stand there and deliver a speech written by herself. Debate is the flow of information and bring about a positive change and whether it done through reading or memorizing, same thing. Also monotonic reading is a different case. She was interacting with the audience too. And she has a British accent because she lives there. Don't criticize when you can't be close enough to her. I think she really deserves a clap.
She was speaking in the AC hall, and all of those who were clapping have ACs/heaters in their homes and they have more electricity consumption than any person from developing nations. Historically CO2 is emitted by developed nations, and now developed nations want to share the responsibility to cope up with climate change. India and other developing countries were not part of that historic emissions. Now questions arise. How many developed countries provide funds for renewable transitions? Why do developed nations have issues with India providing subsidies for solar panels? What is the per capita emission of India or any developing countries? why western or so called developed nations don't want to change their lifestyle? why are they forcing developing nations to limit their growth?
10 % comments about her movement and pronunciation 90 % comments about those 10 %comments .
i am Indian and am proud of her ... her soul choosing such responsibility is beautiful
She delivered it so nicely we all should appreciate her
I was scrolling down thinking i will get some more knowledge nd see some discussion how can we attempt to sort out the climate issue, but what i m seeing is people are more concerned about her body language, her memory power instead of the issue even after hearing these many thought provoking points. U came here to judge her or for the knowledge
0:43 the lady in the white dress is like:"let me cut 5 marks for the statement that the earth and the venus are exactly the same distance from the sun" lmao
she mentioned developing nations . Developed nations are the reason we have reached a position where climate change has become a global threat
Now I can see only positive comments criticising the negative comments but I cannot see any negative comments tho🤨
Sarcasm, humor, facts, figures, pronunciation, fluency and her unwavering confidence.... What a great mixture of skills she has brought out in her speech.
I can relate to this girl. Last year when I gave my presentation at Institute, some said I gave mind-blowing facts and envied my speaking skills. While some criticized me saying I was using too much hand gestures and body language like I'm dancing. I ain't minded them but I just think I can give a better knowledge with gestures and motions. It's like we're picturing something and bringing in front with gestures.
There's no denying pollution in India but a polite disagreement to her saying the sky is opaque because I personally have never seen that. Another thing is that developed nations have carelessly industrialized and emptied resources but developing nations are not that's why they're still developing. We've already chosen the environment friendly path. But I agree nothing is enough. But when I look forward to hear such debates in Oxford I am surprised to hear what I already know. People have heard the problem now they need a solution which I don't see here. Still delivery of speech and all that was good. So congratulations 🇮🇳🙏🥰
I am in class 10th a 15 year old boy and recently in my school a debate was organised and the topic was "privatisation of Defence will weaken the Indian Army" and me and my team got the favour of topic( preposition of the topic) I struggled quiet a bit to understand the topic but after thoroughly studying it, I finally understood it and won the debate and also won the best debater award.
She did a great job. I remember last year when I was giving speech for the position of head girl for my school I forgot my whole speech when the whole audience was staring at me. Public speaking really sucks.
It’s was good. It’s my dream to stand over there one day. You did great.
Bus life me etna hi confidence chahiye ☺️ Proud of you 👍👍👍 Jai Hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
