Ans). The only person in the play is the famous lower casket. The convenience of all wild animals. And another connection to add a name to the arrow keys. Arjun's character is different.

The character of Ekalavya is found in the play. He is of poor and low caste, so Dronacharya used to teach the sons of a royal family so he refused to give his knowledge to Ekalavya and accepted him as a student.

3.)Write your views about Education system in India with reference to Past and Present time.

Ans).

The education system in India with reference to Past time:-

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 has imparted knowledge for developing ideal behavior and not for its utilitarian end. Knowledge, it was felt, was something that lent meaning, glory, and lustier to life. The teacher took a 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. The training was given in the art of war, including archery, riding, driving, and in other allied fields. School education began with phonology, including the study of grammar. Af­ter that, the study of logic was taken up which dealt with the laws of reasoning and art of thinking. Then came the science of Arts and Crafts. Lastly, came the discipline of life which was concerned with sexual purity and chastity in thought and action, including simplicity in food and dress, emphasis on equality, fraternity and independence, and respect for the teacher. Thus, language, logic, craft, discipline and building up character formed the basis of education in early India. In the Brahmanical period, the Vedic literature formed the chief sub­ject of instruction. The main aim of education was the learning of the Vedas. But the Sudras were excluded from the right to education. Education was given on the basis of caste rather than ability and aptitude. Women also were debarred from education

Education system in India with reference to Present time:-

At present, education is being used as a business, Earlier career options were limited, now children have a wider field ahead of them to explore in any subject. Also, this difference is appreciated and the success is kissing the steps of those who work really hard and pour honesty and dedication into their work. So in the current environment, a sea of ​​opportunities has opened up the arms to those who are able to recognize their talents.

Compared to the early years, the cost of education has definitely increased at many levels, whether it is government schools or private schools, money is flowing endlessly for the good of the students. To put it simply, it means that people have understood that 'education is the best investment.'

The introduction of international schools in the private sector has brought with it significant changes in the education system. It serves as a gateway to the outside world and prepares students to compete with international students on an international platform. Being in international schools gives them the relevant exposure and the confidence needed to present them on the international platform.

As Plato said, 'Do not train your child to learn by force or rigor; But direct them on what entertains their minds, so you can accurately detect everyone's genius curves. '

There have been many ups and downs in the education system in India, but at the same time, it has produced some brilliant gems, which are raising the flag of India around the world.

4.)Is Dronacharya an ideal teacher? If yes, then how? and If No, then Why? Explain with examples.

Ans). No, Dronacharya is not an ideal teacher. Because there is no color, clothing, color visible for any teacher or even for the student. Ideal words do not fit in terminology so they are not ideal teachers.

5.)Write something about your experience like Eklavya or Arjuna with any teacher during your study phase till now.

Ans). When a student was in 11th standard, he used to go to English tuition. He did not know good English so he was not taught there properly by a teacher who was neglected to teach him.
