Ekalavya

Eklavya (Sanskrit: एकलव्य, éklavya) is a character from the Hindu epic, the Mahābhārata. He is a young prince of the Nishadha, a confederation of jungle tribes in Ancient India. Eklavya aspired to study archery in the gurukul of Guru Dronacharya, the greatest known teacher in the use of weaponry and martial knowledge at the time. He was son of Vyatraj Hiranyadhanus, a talented soldier in the army of King of Magadha. Magadha was ruled by Jarasandha, who was at odds with the Kingdom of Hastinapura.
Eklavya sincerely sought the mentorship of Drona in weaponry and martial art. Drona discouraged him, and ultimately rejected the boy due to his caste. Out of respect for Drona, Eklavya began a program of self-study, using a clay image of Drona for inspiration. Eventually, Eklavya achieved a level of skill superior to that of Arjun, who was Drona's favorite and most accomplished student, and part of the royal Pandava family. The Pandavas come across the boy in the forest one day, and Eklavya told them of his self study under the idol of Drona. In a cruel move, the guru demanded that Eklavya cut off his right thumb in obeisance to his guru, a request that could not be refused by a student in a gurukul. Eklavya agreed to the demand without hesitation, severing his right thumb and presenting it to Drona.

That Day After Everyday

Anurag Kashyap recently released a short film ‘That Day After Everyday’ on eve teasing and molestation. Three women, each succumbing to societal pressures of being a woman at first, finally put their foot down and fight back against ‘the men on that street’. The director hints strongly towards the male psyche in India and how wrongly it is expected of women to back off when attacked, or rather endure it – how the woman is always at fault.

There is no justification for molestation or harassment, none at all. The film is heart-wrenchingly thought provoking and that is why every man must watch it. It takes only a real man to stand up against an issue this big and be respectful towards women. We applaud Anurag Kashyap for this effort.
