Congratulations Sajid, Sourodip!

Winning any competition is prestigious. However, words fall short to describe when we become champion in a global contest. Sajid Asbat Khandaker and Sourodip Paul, representing BRAC A, have made every Bangladeshi proud by winning the Open Finals of the Belgrade World Universities Debating Championship (WUDC) 2022. It is widely known as the 'world cup of debating'. In the final, they beat Princeton University, National University of Singapore, and Ateneo de Manila University. We express our heartiest congratulations to both Sajid and Sourodip for taking Bangladesh on top of the world.
They are the first Asian team to achieve this feat. The WUDC is the world's largest debating tournament and one of the world's grandest yearly international student events. Those who do not have much interest in debating can hardly feel this moment. This triumph will undoubtedly boost the country's younger generations' interests in the amazing world of debating. Every year, hundreds of school children participate in the national campaign of debating. For them, Sajid and Sourodip will surely be an inspiration for days to come.
