Q:1 compare and contrast arjun and Eklavya character.
Arjun:
When we talked about Arjuna's character first image comes in our mind is that arjuna is a very powerful man and as humble as God. But here in this play playwright kailasam hase broke the myth of real mahabharata and here in this play he portrayed Arjuna as very ambitious man and very low class person in emotions wise. Arjuna was third brother from the five pandvas in real mahabharata epic. Arjuna's mother was kunti and his father was pandu. He is son of indradev in epic. He is a prince of Hustinapura and he has four brothers yudhishtir,Bheem, Nakul and sahdev. In mahabharata arjun was like this: he was known for his steadfastness and single mindedness in pursuing his goals. He was instrumental in winning Draupadi in a contest for himself and his brothers as their joint wife. He also married subhadra the sister of krishna and Balram and kept his friendship with them forever. Lord krishna became his mentor and guide for the rest of his life.
In the T. P. Kailasam's play Arjuna was a small boy who goes to guru Drona's Ashram for learning archery with pandavas and cousin brother's kauravas. Guru Dronacharya was best teacher of archary Bhisma knows that so he sent his grand children to learn archery from him in the mahabharata Arjuna was fast learner archery and he is favourite student of guru dronacharya gives promise to him that he became best archery in the world.
Eklavya :
Eklavya is the protagonist of this play"The purpose ;he is a nishada boy. He also wants to become the best archer of the world. He always speaks whatever he thinks to be true. He had great esteem. He really likes the technique of guru dronacharya but he also recognize Arjun as his companion. Eklavya is the main character of T. P. kailasam's play "The purpose", it is taken from the mahabharata in mahabharata he is not powerful character, but in this play he is powerful character drawn by T. P. kailasam. He was a nishada boy. Once he was tak with his mother about archery that he wants to become best archer. In that world, that time his mother told him that guru dronacharya was the best teacher for archery if he accept you as a student so you became best archery. That time he decided that he learn archery from guru Dronacharya.
Comperiston between Arjun and Eklavya:
The similarity between both the characters is that both want to become the world's best archer. Though the aim is same, the purpose for it is different. Arjuna has the personal purpose and Eklavya's purpose is to save the animals. So we can say here that this all the things are about "The purpose" or based on the "The purpose" that how the purpose is different from each other. So here we can say that the title of this play is appropriate and well chose by the playwright of this play.
Q:2 what is subaltern? Who do you think is the subaltern in this play? Explain with examples.
A subaltern is someone with a law ranking in social, political, or other hierarchy. It can also mean someone who has been marginalised or oppressed.
The tearm subaltern describes the lower social classes and the other social groups displaced to the margins of a society, in an imperial colony, a subaltern is a native man or women without human agency, as defined by his and her social status, nonetheless, the feminist scholar gayatri Chakraborty spivak cautioned against an over broad application of the tearm the subaltern.
After examine the character of Eklavya we concluded that being a common man and cause of marginalised in ancient society Eklavya has to suffers a lot. Eklavya faces all the problems and do lots of struggles he comes out with flying colors and emerge as the tragic hero of the play "The purpose".
Resemblance and antithesis between Arjuna and Eklavya when we talk about these two major character. First of all we have to discussed that, that there are some similarities and some differentiate things between these two character. So let's have a briefly look on that.
" A person of no pride always remember that no one can be perfect"
Arjuna character in "The purpose" is portrayed as a rude and self - proud person while in original text he is very humble and gread.
"An Arya is an Arya! And a nishadhu is only a low born nishadha...!
Q:3write your views about Education system in India with reference to past and present time.
Education in the past:from the latter point of view in the vedic period, schools were boarding schools where a child was handed over to the teacher at the age of about eight years, and he was imparted knowledge for developing ideal behaviour and not for its utilitarian end. Knowledge, it was felt, was something that lent meaning glory, and luster to life. The teacher took personal interest in the life of his students. Education was all comprehensive.
For example, physical education was compulsory, students were taught to build up a strong and healthy body. Training was given in the art of war, including archery, riding, driving, and in other allied fields. School education began with phonology, including study of grammar. After that,study of logic was teacken up which dealt with the laws of reasoning and art of thinking. Then came science of arts and crafts.
Education in school and college was not productive wich would break down the social, riligional and linguistics barriers. It never himed at making people masters of technology. It also did not focus on fighting injustice, intolerance and superstition.
Education in the present:-
Education today is oriented to promoting values of an urban, complotitive consumer society. Through the existing education system, India has produced in the last five decades number of scientists, professionals and technocrats who have excelled in thair field and made a mark at the national and international levels.
The top scientists, doctors, engineers, researchers, proffesors, etc. Are not those who were educated abroad but had got their entire education in India. If these experts and all those people who have reached the highest level have come through our present educational system, how could we deny the positive aspects of the education system as it is found today? Thus, while we cannot totally criticism our present education, there are urgent attention, if we are really concerned with a better future.
Q:4 is Dronacharya an ideal teacher? If yes, then how?, and if No, then why? Explain with examples.
Yes, Dronacharya is a ideal teacher because, Eklavya was the son of a poor hunter. He wanted to learn archery to save the deer in the forest that were being hunted by the leopards. So he want to Dronacharya and requested him to teach him archery. Dronacharya was the teacher of the royal family.
This is not far Eklavya in his heart had already accepted Dronacharya as his Guru. He went home and made a statu of his Guru. Over the following years, with sincerity and practice, he learn archery and became batter than the state princess at the aret. He became so good at it that, he would hear the sound of the animal. Shootan arrow at it and claim the animal.
One day, Arjuna, the prince found out about this talented archer. Making matters worse, he saw that Eklavya was far better than him. He went to Eklavya and asked him,'who throught you archery?'
Dronacharya blessed Eklavya with immortality by asking him for his thumb so when people think of devotion they think Of Eklavya, and not Arjuna.
"she the greatness of Dronacharya he took the blame on him and uplifted his studend. That is why, even if the guru is wrong, if your devotion is their you can never go wrong, but the guru is not wrong, it appears he was partial but he uplifted Eklavya and preserved his dharm also. His duty cous to maintain the law of the land you cannot have anyone much better than the prince ", - Sri Sri Ravi Sankar.
