New Delhi: Two 17-year-old Indian students won laurels at the 24th International Philosophy Olympiad, a philosophy competition for high school students from across the world, held in Belgium recently.
While 17-year-old Drishtti Rawat from Noida won a silver medal, Lucknow-based Tathagat Bhatia, also 17, received an honourable mention.
India secured an overall third position in the competition where 90 students from 44 countries were required to write essays on a particular topic. This year the main topic was 'War and Peace.'
According to Kedar Soni, Coordinator of Indian Philosophy Olympiad, words are incomplete without intonations, which in turn originate from emotions.
