In The Phenomenology of the Spirit, Hegel proposed that alienation of human essence as divinity, and its subsequent re-appropriation, had accounted for the emergence and decline of religions. ‘Young Hegelians’, among them Ludwig Feuerbach and Karl Marx, took up the theme. Feuerbach saw God’s creativity as a projection of human failure to realize full potential, and God’s omnipotence as a projection of human sense of finitude and vulnerability.

I) X & Y are budding debaters from the Indian circuit who are in a happy relationship. They share common aspirations of doing well at major tournaments (WUDC, UADC etc.) and have briefly debated as a team previously. However, this took a significant toll on their relationship since both of them are highly-competitive teammates prone to bouts of stress and anger. Based on this experience, they have teamed up extensively with a different set of teammates which has been successful.

II) For the purposes of this debate, this is likely to be the last year majors are going to be online, post which it is uncertain whether they will be able to access these tournaments. X & Y have spent time preparing for majors with their current teammates. However, in the run up to majors, they realize their current teammates won’t be able to make it to the competition. This leaves them with the choice of either debating with each other or settling for an untested partner. Both X & Y are still quite skeptical of the
potential fallout teaming up may have on their relationship.

"In April 1948, United Nations passed a resolution which called for a referendum to be held to decide the statehood of Kashmir with three possible outcomes: being part of India, being part of Pakistan, being an independent state but asked for complete demilitarization of the region as a precursor. The referendum was never held, as India and Pakistan refused to pull out their troops. Since then, succesful electroral processess to determine statehoods have been held in undemocratic and militarized regions (such as Namibia from South Africa, East Timor from Philiphines, South Sudan from Sudan etc.) and Kashmir has remained a contested conflict zone with nearly 75 years of suffering.
For the purposes of this debate, the people of Kashmir exclusively vote in the referendum.

Load management is a common practice in the NBA of strategically resting high-profile players for certain games to keep them fit for other important games. The exclusion of such players is often announced only immediately before the start of a match.
