Pakistani Students Win Oxford Pakistan–India Debate by Two-Thirds Majority

Pakistani students achieved a decisive win at Oxford University, securing a two-thirds majority in a Pakistan–India debate that drew intense interest from the student community. The debate centred on the motion: “Is India’s policy towards Pakistan truly about national security, or is it a political slogan to incite public sentiment?”

Students from both Pakistan and India presented arguments before a packed debate hall. The Pakistani team, led by Musa Hiraj — the current president of the Oxford Students’ Union — delivered a structured and forceful case, questioning the motivations behind India’s policy posture toward Pakistan and highlighting the political narratives shaped around it.

Observers noted that the Indian delegation struggled to respond effectively to several pointed questions raised during the exchange. As the debate progressed, the momentum appeared to shift strongly in favour of the Pakistani participants.

At the conclusion, the audience cast their votes: 106 in favour of the Pakistani team and 50 for the Indian team, giving Pakistan a clear two-thirds majority and securing their victory.

The event highlighted the active engagement of South Asian students at Oxford and provided a platform for nuanced discussion on regional geopolitics. Organisers described the debate as one of the more spirited exchanges of the academic year, praising both sides for their participation.
