Renaissance in IndiaTopic: Eklavya as subaltern

The son of Nishadas

Sacrifice of the thumb

Eklavya-The marginalized hero

Eklavya’s reverence to Drona

• ‘’….the nishada prince touching Drona’s feet with bent head, wended his way into farest’’

• Clay image of Drona

Excessive reverence to the Brahmins

Our attitude towards Dronacharya

Conclusion

• Differences of castes in real and practical life• Existence of subaltern history • A question -what type of role models are we

creating for the generation ?
