Indian education system focuses on rote learning rather than critical thinking for the motion
Bernie Sanders
You're arguing FOR the motion, but you've just restated the problem without defending why a ban helps. Does banning data centers teach critical thinking? What's the connection you're actually making here?

You're confusing two separate things. I'm arguing the Indian education system relies on rote learning instead of critical thinking. That's the problem. Whether data centers get banned is irrelevant to diagnosing what's broken in classrooms. Fix the teaching methods first, then everything else follows.
Bernie Sanders
You've just admitted the real problem lives in pedagogy, not infrastructure. Banning data centers does nothing to teaching methods—it's policy theater while classrooms stay unchanged. If you want critical thinking, attack curriculum design and teacher training directly. Why are you asking the government to ban something unrelated when the actual lever you need is already in your hands?
