The title of the book relates to Greek mythology where a golden apple sparked a dispute among three goddesses. This debate invoked the judgment of Paris and ultimately caused the Trojan War. In common parlance, ‘the apple of discord’ is the core, kernel, or crux of an argument or discussion. This work’s original Bengali version, ‘Dwandwasutra,’ came out in the early 1990s while the current book is a much-developed form of the original endeavor.This book stands out as a handy Dictionary of Propositions for Debate and Public Speaking – embodying a collection of almost 4,000 propositions on almost 700 topics related to world affairs, history, cultures, politics, economy, and society with special references to Bangladesh. While there are numerous books on debate, this handbook of topics has no parallels, particularly in Bangladesh. This book aims at benefiting debaters, public speakers, tournament-organizers, extra-curricular educators, and conscious readers who strive to build their knowledge base through nurturing arguments, inquiry, and critical thinking.
