This photograph shows a student speaking at Mardi Gras’ debate competition in 1983. “DCM Data Products” is visible on the podium. The speaker, who is arguing the “for” in the debate, is Debjani Mukherjee, an alumna of IIT Madras (Department of Chemical Engineering).

Mardi Gras, now known as Saarang, was a cultural festival occurring annually for 5 days with dance, music, quiz, debate, sketching, photography, drama, and other competitions. Mardi Gras 1983 took place from 26 to 30 January 1983. From the name that this album was given, this album appears to comprise images from day 2 of Mardi Gras ‘83, meaning that this photograph would have been taken on 27 January 1983.
