The speaker Dr. V N jha in his talk about The Role of Vada as explained in the Nyaya Darshan talks about various types of discourses - Vada which is the ideal form of discourse which aims at arriving at the truth, Jalpa is the discourse with an objective to win and Vitanda is criticism in a discussion.
Our knowledge system emphasizes the importance of these three disciplines to develop the capacity analyse human thoughts: Grammar to capture the structure of the language, Nyaya Sashtra to capture rationality and Purva Mimamsa to analyse discourse. Thoughts are encoded in language, when one analyses languages, he analyses the thoughts. One needs to undergo training to understand, analyse and communicate. A very interesting discourse on Vada in Nyaya shastra.
