***The oldest profession in the world is not going away. The question is: how do we deal with it as a society?***

**What this is:**
This will be an online discussion over google meet.

**Purpose:**
To understand, interpret and analyse different views on the subject. The end goal is to form a better understanding with different POVs

**General overview:**
In this Thinkers Forum session, we will explore this complex subject through open, respectful discussion.
Key questions we may touch upon:

* What are the arguments for and against legalising prostitution?
* How have different countries approached this issue — and what can we learn from them?
* Does legalisation help protect vulnerable individuals or expose them to new risks?
* What role do culture, morality, and economics play in shaping public opinion on this topic?
* Could India ever move toward legalisation — and should it?

Should prostitution be legalised? - Collaborative Discussion

Online event

Join us for a **thought-provoking online discussion** on **democratic systems, governance models, and economic progress**. In this Thinkers Forum session, we’ll explore whether democracy empowers long-term growth — or slows it down with too much process.

**What to Expect**
A **live online conversation** over Google Meet where curious minds debate, explore, and reflect on big questions — without the noise of social media.

**Purpose:**
To interpret, explore, and critically examine different views on whether democratic systems hinder or help progress — economically, socially, and politically.

**General overview:**
In this Thinkers Forum session, we’ll dive into the tension between **freedom and efficiency**, **consensus and control**, **growth and governance**.
Democracy is often praised for being fair, but also blamed for being slow. Meanwhile, more centralized or authoritarian models are sometimes credited with faster development — but at what cost?
Through open and respectful discussion, we’ll explore the nuances behind these claims.

**Key questions we may touch upon:**

* Is the democratic process inherently slow — and is that a weakness or a strength?
* Do checks and balances help long-term stability or delay urgent reforms?
* Can democratic countries grow as fast as centralized regimes — and should they?
* Are there real-world examples that prove or disprove the claim?
* How do citizens balance the need for efficiency with the desire for representation?

**Who should attend?**
Anyone curious about the intersection of politics, governance, and growth. You don’t need a background in political science — just a willingness to think deeply and listen openly.
