Hind Swaraj & Beyond A Boundary

Hind Swaraj and Beyond A Boundary shows the struggle for decolonization. In Hind Swaraj, Ghandi struggles to remove colonial presence from India. However, this also means that useful technology such as the printing press and machinery should also be removed. However, India is not the same after colonization, and never will be. According to Williams, culture changes over time, and Indian culture is no exception. This brings up an important question in decolonization: how to reconnect with culture that was lost due to colonization without being stuck in the past. Even today, decolonization is still a very complex process. I think that decolonization should repair the damages done by colonialism while moving on with the new reality that the effects of colonialism has left behind. However, that does not mean that we should accept colonialism and its harmful effects, we should heal the scars that colonialism left but keep the useful things that it brought.
