"A sutputra has no right to yield weapons." "this lowly born thinks he is capable of fighting prince arjun, lost his mind has he?" " He thinks he is worthy enough to challenge pandu putra, dron shishya, kauntey arjun" the voices grew louder and louder until arjun has gone deaf. his mind swam, his vision blurred, and there he was back again in the forest. There he stood infront of arjun his knowledge forming an aura around him, his hardships visible through the various scars and cuts on his body, and the arrows shot silencing the dog were a proof of his skills. Arjun knew just by seeing him that the boy was better in every aspect. a childish jealousy ran through him and before it could be stopped the question was already out " wasn't I supposed to be the best guru Drona, you promised me you will make me the best archer in the world" His guru looked at him wide eyed and the young boy Infront of him looked shocked as well. And then the unthinkable happened. guru Drona asked Eklavya for his gurudakshina. NO!NO!NO! arjun mind screamed NOO! his shout rang through the stadium and every spectator was muted. arjun was back in the arena his eyed red from the unshed tear his heart throbbing from fear. he looked in Radhey's eyes though quiet different he found its resemblance to Eklavya's . "not again, never again" his heart shouted overpowering his mind, taking away his  ability to think. "Stop!, A warrior has no caste, His karma is what decides his place in the society, any man who is truthful, charitable, forgiving and kind is a brahmin, and every man who wields weapon to protect is a KSHATRIYA. Its not birth but virtues that count, Following dharma is one's duty but you earn merits through your karma, Karma is something of one's own will while birth is something which cannot be decided by one. karma will always be placed before birth before dharma. ALWAYS".
