In Beyond a Boundary, a boy describes his life in school when all he wanted to do was play cricket. He would lie to his parents, who were unhappy with his hobby, just to get to the field in order to play. However, when he was in the game, he would follow all the rules carefully, never cheating or lying. This shows how there are two sides to him. Playing cricket also showed the different races mixing, all races, classes all played together with the same goal.
In Hind Swaraj, a reader and an editor are arguing about Englishmen coming to India. The reader argues that it would be good to incorporate their culture and language into their own to make them more progressive, but the editor says that that would be bad because they need to stick with their own language. He also argues that industrialization is bad because factories ruin societies, and new transportation forms is unhealthy for the people.
