Answer:
A sample conversation is given below
Thomas Arnold (TA) I am surprised that you are opposing the inclusion of cricket as a game in the schools, Mr Gandhi.
Mahatma Gandhi (MG) I think only the games which suit the boys and are traditionally played in India should be included in schools.
TA Why does say this? Cricket is a good exercise, besides building up team spirit and also leadership qualities in the boys. It fosters sportsman's spirit. It is really a gentleman's game.
MG I think cricket takes a long time to play. One whole day wasted on just a game! Also it is too expensive. Indian boys will not be able to buy all the equipment needed for a game of cricket. Besides, it reminds us of you British. We want the boys to enjoy games, not think of how we have been colonised.
TA Cricket is a modern game which imparts discipline to the boys. You have no such Indian traditional game.
MG No, I do not agree. Cricket is dividing our nation on a communal basis and so should not be included.
