Ekalavya, a Nishada boy comes to the 'great' guru Dronacharya, hoping to master the art of archery. But the guru, disgusted of his 'caste', rejected him. The young boy accepted so with grace, and went to the forest, whereupon he built an idol of his still beloved 'guru' and trained. When the Kuru princes discovered his success in the endeavour, Drona once again, exploited the boy's conscience to force him to give his thumb to pacify a jealous arjun. Disgusting, gut wrenching, frustrating really. Casteism at its finest! That too at the heart of one of the most holy scriptures of Hinduism? At least that's what we are told, what we believe! But what the scriptures TRULY say? What REALLY happened? Give 7 minutes of your time to read this article, which breaks down and examines the legend text by text directly from the epic and resolves the age old confusion!All Rights Reserved
