Eklavya, the resolute youth tribal,
A genius he was and a worker solo
He toiled and toiled to master archery
Idol of Drona was Guru of the visionary.

The tragedy of Ekalavya is a lesson to the loyal and sincere people who consider themselves indebted to somebody who in turn exploit the ethics. A very good poem deserving felicitations

For removing the thorn in path of Arjuna. Eklavya's honesty and for him loyalty Gifted own thumbs to Drona in Gurudakshina........here the sacrifice of Eklavya as Gurudakshina(return gift) for being teacher in exile is wellreaveled. The selfish nature of Drona Guru was known to all in the story of Mahabharata. So beautifully executed. Thank you dear Ratnakar Ji.

The story of Ekalavya in Mahabharata is both touching and heart rending. There never can be a greater 'Gurudakshina' than given by Ekalavya to his secret Guru Dronacharya. But the cruelty and selfishness shown by Guru Dronacharya can never be forgiven. Here, the name of Ekalavya is ever remembered as an ideal Shishya. Ratnakar ji, So good to read a poem on Ekalavya. Thank you for sharing. Top marks
