Youth Festival Rang Mohan 2019

Hello readers !

   Welcome to my blog. Here Iam going to share my experience about 29th Inter college Youth festival Rang Mohan 2019 at Maharaja KrishnKumarSinhji Bhavnagar university, Gujarat, India.  And also discussed some critical points about drama,poetry and etc; Throughout 26 to 28 September competition are going on. In the date 25 ,'kalayatra' at Shamaldas college to Sardar Patel institute.

     In kalayatra all the  participate college's came  with various theme. Based on the theme three numbers are given.   This  Youth festival is celebrated as Mahatma Gandhi's 150th birth anniversary. So in kalayatra each and every college select theme on gandhian thoughts except one or two college other theme that also related to Gandhi.

•  1. Theme of 'kalayatra' :

 - My life is my message

 - Divine journey if Mohan to Mahatma

 - My dream India

 - Equality in justice

 - Where I am ?

 - New India

 - 11Mahavrata given by Gandhi, etc:

•   2. Major themes in dramatic events like one act play, skit,Mime, Monoacting.

      In youth Festival many dramatic events are there . In which students came with various theme like :

•      One of the one act play theme is ' artificial intelligence in which we find that modern view of life . What is most important in our life : rational thinking or emotional thinking. Don't be emotional but be rational. This one act play is one of my favourite drama in this youth festival.

• In which many play we find that religion and social orthodox

• No use of 21st century's technology

• Believe in religion rather than doctor and medical treatment

• Women don't have voice

• Satire on society, political leaders, people's mentality, thinking, absurdity.

• Rape scene

• Domestic violence

• Untouchability

• Current problems like Notbandhi, GST, Traffic rules , chandrayan, corruption in India.
• In Monoacting students came with this type of theme like that :

• Kasturba's pain for her son

• Ancient character like Ravana, Ds propounded by many critics on the dramatic events presented in youth festival.

• 'Manas name gal' with  various example

• Kalakar ki Katha

3. Can you apply dramatic literary theories propounded by many critics on the dramatic events presented in youth festival

       In youth festival's dramatic events we not find that any specific theories but at some point we can say that theories is there. According to  Aristotle the aim of tregedy is to bring about ' catharsis' . I think each and every one act play we feel the pity and fear for character ,so catharsis is there in youth festival . 

And also Aristotle talk about six elements about tregedy like that: plot, character, diction, thought, spectacle, song( music).that all the things used in this one act play. 

    Here we not find that Ben Johnson's comedy of humour in one act play but in Skeat we find that this type of comic character who present the comedy. And as well as make satire in society.

     In Skeat we find that Martin esslin's absurd theatre at some point only not whole.

4. Can you categories one act play or dramatic events as sentimental, anti-sentimental comedy, comedy of manners, classical tragedy, modern tragicomedy or Bollywoodish theatre performance.

    In this youth festival one of the one act play followed classical rules like that unity of time, action and place. That drama is " artificial intelligence".

     And one of the play we find that ending like Romeo and Juliet. The play 'Lakhami' in which the two lover get died at the end. And also in this play plot giigo on story within a story.

     Specially in Skeat we find that charactristic of anti-sentimental comedy like that farce, laughter, Irony, disguise,wit and intelligent humour. Many of Skeat we find that this all charactristic.

    If we talked about Bollywoodish theatre then that is not followed perfectly but at some point we saw that Bollywood features.

5. Poetry :

     In our Youth festival we don't have many events like dramatic events , in poetry. We have only this spot poetry writing.

• Subject of poetry :

   - kaliyug craves for Gandhi

   - Meera and Radha

   - cleanliness and healthiness

   - Daughter- A glance from father's eyes

   - I am Gujarati

     This five subject given to students for writing poetry. Most of the students who showed his/her interest towards two subject that is  'Meera and Radha' and ' Daughter- a glance from father's eyes.

     Many of the poems theme is Love, sacrifice, Gandhi used as symbol in many poem.

6. Art event : 

    In this art event we find that  cartooning, painting, collage, poster making, claymodeling, installation etc. 

 # pictures of cartooning, painting, collage, poster making:

  # claymodeling :

# Rangoli :

   Not only colour make a rangoli but in this youth festival we find different kinds of rangoli ,

This all the pictures gives us a pleasure.

7. Other events :

•  Folk dance (Lok nrutya) : 

    In Gujarat famous dance is "Garaba". That is the world famous form of dance. Whatever function going on without 'Garaba' that is never end. In this youth festival we saw that  various styles in garba. Let's see the picture:

     We all thankful to Maharaja KrishnKumarSinhji Bhavnagar university and also our vice chancellor Mahipatsinh chavda sir  and Dilipsinh sir for arranging this occasion. We thankful to Dilip barad sir for this opportunity.

Thank you......

Thinking activity on paradise lost

Hello readers !

      Welcome to my blog. This blog is about 'paradise lost', great English epic in blank verse. Paradise lost is written by great puritan writer John Milton.  The Paradise lost is divided in 12 books. This idea originally came from the Bible. There is a different story from the Bible. Which way Bible tells a story and which way Milton who tells a story of Eve and Adam.

      In the Bible we find that God as storyteller and also god's viewpoint, but in Paradise lost we find that one human being who tells a story about god and his man and women,Satan. So that we can say that in the Bible we find that divine perspective, in Paradise lost we find that Human perspective. This task is given by dr Dilip barad sir click here to understand more about this task.

   So here I would like to share my understanding on human perspective and divine perspective.

1. What is your understanding of human perspective and divine perspective ? Give illustration to support your understanding.

      In 'Paradise Lost' we come to know about what is human perspective and what is divine perspective. The story coming from the holy book Bible. In the Bible we find that divine perspective.

      But one literary writer never write in divine perspective but always written in  side of human beings. Each and every character through we know that perspective of divine and human.

* Satan :

          The character of Satan we know that characteristic of human nature  in Paradise Lost.  Milton's Satan is different from the Bible's Satan. Like human being he wants to freedom, rights to rule, and also become something more than others.

    His ambition to become more stronger than god ,his jealousy, revengeful nature makes him human  being. In his ambition he was not wrong. To become powerful is nothing bad. How god make injustice with Satan and also divine power not give them freedom.

* Eve :

       In ' Genesis' we find that fall of Eve and Adam. God give a punishment to Eve and her children for Eve's disobedience. So there is problematic punishment because  why to punish Eve's innocent children. In Bible Eve , Adam and Satan who had not voice to express his/her view and argument. But here in John Milton's work they freely talk and give their arguments with god.  That is the human perspective.

   "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you." (God)

        This way god give punishment to Eve.

* Adam :

     Adam who had followed the instructions of Eve that's why who also punished but this is like that:

And to Adam he said, "Because you

have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the

tree of which I commanded you, 'You shall not eat of it,'

cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it

all the days of your life;thorns and thistles it shall bring forth

to you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. In the sweat

of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground,

for out of it you were taken; you are dust, and to dust you

shall return." (God)

    God had nor judged fairly because  he not equal punishment. But in Paradise lost we find that Adam who loved her and because for his love towards Eve he also eat apple. And became part of punishment.

     That is the human perspective.

2. How do you read the character of eve as transgresser and yet defendable?

    If we look as feminist perspective then that is good one.she is not doing anything wrong because the apple is gives knowledge. And if she wants to no more then that is not bad.

    Milton had present this in way women should not do this type of transgresser work. But here we take this thing as revolutionary things for women.  She wants to know about good and evil like god that's why she eats an apple and yet she also offering Adam also.

   In way Eve is revolutionary character in the history of women. Eve don't follow the rules of god that's why she punished by god ,fear of god's punishment she offered the apple to adam as defensible because if did punished then Adam with her.

Thank you...

  

    

     

  

Thinking activity on Wordsworth and Coleridge

Hello readers !

    Welcome to my blog. This blog is about Wordsworth and Coleridge's view about "Poem". And also here I mentioned two poem that reference to Coleridge and Wordsworth. This task given by Dr Dilip barad sir, If you want to know more then ,

* Click here......

* Click here......

1. Write brief note on the views of Wordsworth and Coleridge on poem.

• Wordsworth' s view on "Poem" :

     Wordsworth (7 April 1770 - 23 April 1850) was famous for his Poetry and criticism. His masterpiece work "Lyrical Ballad" in which we find that his view upon poem. What is poem?

      In Wordsworth's view poem should be written in' the real language of comman men'.  Wordsworth's definition of poem is

   "The spontaneous overflow of feeling ,it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility".

     Wordsworth think that first principles of poetry should be pleasure and so the chief duty of is provide pleasure. He was rejecting classical nation that poetry about elevated subjects and should be composed in a formal style. Wordsworth choose democratic themed the lives of ordinary man, woman, farmers, paupers and rural Poor's. He not used highly crafted poetical one.

• Coleridge's view on "poem":

    Coleridge (21 October 1772- 25 July 1834),who had written very monument critical work is contained in 24 chapter of " Biographia Literaria" , in this work we find that what is the difference between 'poem' and 'poetry' , Wordsworth's thought regarding poem and it's function fair enough for not that all the things and many more things we find that in this work.

    Coleridge said that poem is the' best word in the best order'. And also he said that meter super addition of meter or rhyme does not make a poem.  In a poem ultimate end is truth and delight emerges from the whole each and every part of its composition purpose and ultimate end. 

     In Coleridge word a legitimate poem  is "It must be one the parts of which mutually support and explain each other all in their proportion harmonizing with, and supporting the purpose and known influence of metrical arrangement".

     So in which coleriCol said that in poem not only one or other part but the entire effect, the journey of reading poem Should be pleasurable.

2. Analyze 2 poems with reference to Wordsworth and Coleridge's views. 

• Reference to Wordsworth's view:

 This poem "પ્રભાત" is written by Gujarati well known poet કૃષ્ણ દવે.

"પ્રભાત"       

       

    This poem not followed all the parameters of Wordsworth but we can say that some of the things like Wordsworth's poem. In this poem poet tries to express 'rising sun'. So here we find that many natural elements like star, flower,sun, night, morning time etc:

  Here we not find that too much artistic language,ssimple language and simple example. And also this poem is pleasurable one, and that showed the picture of rural life. That's why this poem is like Wordsworth's poem.

• Reference to Coleridge's view:

     Here I would like to give example of Prahlad Parekh's poem "અબોલા". 

                                "અબોલા"

    

      As Coleridge said that poem should be 'the best word in the best order'. So here  I think this poem is also in best order of word and also harmonizing with supporting the purpose and known influence of metrical arrangement. Here see that the colour of imagination.

    In this poem poet's express his feelings towards beloved in a harmonious way. And also rhymes of the poem is also harmonious like  તુટી ,લૂંટી?, લૂંટી?.

    So in this way this poem related to Coleridge's view.

Thank you....

Month of August : patriotism

Hello readers !

     Welcome to my blog. This blog is about month of August . In which we celebrate many festival like that રક્ષાબંધન પર્વ, શીતળા સાતમ, જન્માષ્ટમી, એકાદશી, પવિત્ર શ્રાવણ માસ, પતેતી,બળોચૌથ, દિવાસો, ગૌરી વ્રત, મોળાકત,બકરી ઈદ, દીપ પુજા etc; One of the major festival for India is the' Independence day'. In this month of August we find that tow type of strong feelings, first is patriotism and second is religious and bhakti.

     So this month is very euphoria for Indians. Here I would like to share my view about  nationalism and patriotism. click here to know about task :

• (Saadat Hasan Manto )

      Nandita das make biographical movie on Manto.  In which we find that very touchable dialogue spoke by Navazuddin siddiqui.  In his character through we find that freedom of expression is important for every human being. 

जो चिज जेसी है। उसे देसी ही 

पैश क्यु ना किया जाए।

      Manto who had written many stories like that:.       - Toba Tek Singh

                        - Thanda Gosht

He was India - Pakistani writer and playwright. Mainly he was written in Urdu language. This dialogue we connect with many situation, now time politician who present the thing not exactly right but come with butter polishing like now Indian who don't  believe in untouchability that is not true. In India many people who believe in caste. So Manto who written exactly what is going on. And Manto interpreted that:

मेरी कहानियां एक आयना है जिसमें समाज

 अपने आप को देख सकें ।

    If we not see are reality then that is problem fir us.

हकीकत से इन्कार करना क्या

हमें बेहतर इंसान बनाऐगा ।

     If we don't know what is real then we can't realize that what is good for us and what is bad ,and if don't know the bad things of are society then which way we make India better. That all the questions raised in my mind.

• This Bloody Line : 

      'The Bloody line' a film by Ram Madhvani. That is based on one poetry by W.H. Auden.  This poetry is about one person who draw the line. That is well-known lawyer. That is Ciriyl John Radcliffe.

    This line draw by one who never visited India and don't know the situation. This only one line create a lot violence. If we see the perspective from Britisher, In India lots of violence between Hindu and Muslim so they divided in two country. In real sense that is the bloody, blood of human being.

     In this picture we find that bloody nature of human being. This line made a two part from one heart and country. Not only that time but ,today also this line is red one. That is the cruel effect of this line. In the film Redcliffe said that this booklet line ,thi t bloody line...

• Country  Vs Nation :

    What is the difference between Country and Nation. This concept we find in well known Hindi poet Bhagwat Rawat's work ' देश एक राग है'. His other well known work is: 

• Kavita Ka Doosara path air prasang (2006)
• Aise kaise Neend (2004)
• Nirvachit kavitaen (2004)

    In his poem " Desh ek rash Hain " in which we know about Bhagwat Rawat's thoughts about " Country Vs Nation "  for example:

मजेदार बात यहाँ है कि 'देशवासियों'-जैसे 
आत्मीय संबोधनों से प्रारंभ होने वाले ये सन्देश 

देश को भूलकर राष्ट्र-राष्ट्र कहते नहीं थकते 
 राष्ट्र की मजबूती, राष्ट्र की गरिमा
 राष्ट्र की संप्रभुता, रार्ष्ट्रोत्थान जैसे विशेषण वाची
 अलंकरणों से से मंडित
 ये आत्ममुग्धता और आत्मश्लाघा
 के उदाहरण बनकर रहा जाते हैं

     Here he said about speech of political member who always said that our country and all the things. No one knows which way our country became nation.

   Now time in india we find that many people who became nationalist, that means love for india and hate for other countries. If we hate other countries and then we love India that is not fair. There is a need to only love India but not hate towards other countries, that is the patriotism.

*  ठिठुरता हुआ गणतंत्र:  हरिशंकर परसाई

   

        "अंग्रेज बहुत चालाक हैं। भरी बरसात में स्वतंत्र करके चले गए। उस कपटी प्रेमी की तरह भागे, जो प्रेमिका का छाता भी ले जाए। वह बेचारी भीगती बस-स्टैंड जाती है, तो उसे प्रेमी की नहीं, छाता-चोर की याद सताती है। स्वतंत्रता-दिवस भीगता है और गणतंत्र-दिवस ठिठुरता है.

This line shows situation of India in that time, which way english people cruel on us. What is the freedom and they give us, that is the question.

Harishankar parsai is well known Hindi satirist and humourist. Click here to know more about harishankar parsai.

Sunday reading task : Shitala satam

Hello readers !

        Welcome to my blog. Why we followed religious rules and rituals. If we don't know the  meaning of that rules and rituals, then that is problematic. In India we see that many rituals , that is somehow meaningless. If any reason we get then also we not identify and clarify the meaning of rituals. Many times we see that educated people also believe that type of religious rules.

     In many Political members  speech we find that "देश बदल रहा है". But that reformation we noticed in people's cloth, his/ her outlook and fashion style. But people's mentality not change for that foolish orthodox and rituals. I confess modern India is different but which way , weather people's mentality is modern or only clothand life style is modern.

      This blog is given by Dr Dilip barad sir as task for Sunday reading activity.

Shitala Saatam : 

     This festival come in the pavitra month of Shravan  . In every village we find that Temple of Shitalaa ma . Most of people believed strongly in this rituals, In the day of  Sataam all women going to Shitalaa temple for puja, pray for his child.

         They don't think about Shitalaa is not any kind of Devi but that is the one disease of that century. People don't think rationally but only imotionally. Women who fear about her child's health and future that's why who rigidly follow the rules.

1) Edward Jenner and the history of smallpox and vaccination.

        
       " In ancient times in India smallpox was prevented through the tikah (inoculation). Kurt Pollak (1968) writes, "preventive inoculation against the smallpox, which was practiced in China from the 11th century, apparently came from India". This inoculation process was generally practiced in large part of Northern and Southern India, but around 1803-04 the British government banned this process. It's banning " - D.P. Agrawal and Lalit Tiwari.

     Edward Jenner, who has pioneer of Smallpox vaccine. Who had English physician. Click here to know more about Edward Jenner and Smallpox.

2) Read paper on the claim that India first started to cure smallpox before the West : 

https://www.infinityfoundation.com/mandala/t_dy/t_dy_Q14_frameset.htm

     In this paper we got the information , what is truth and what false about founder of smallpox. 

   "In science credit goes to the man who convince the world, not the man to whom the  idea first occurs". 
                                      - Francis Galton

In India also find that many way to fight with Smallpox but people believe in religious things rather than science. So Edward Jenner who found the vaccine and convince the whole world, that's why we called pioneer of the smallpox vaccine.

3) As the concept of worshiping goddess Shitalaa is failing and with thay questions are raised against the practice of eating cold food, the new breed of nationalists have emerged to justify it as practice to overcome deficiency of vitamin B12. See the letter in gujarati.

      In this occasion of Shitala saatam  one rules is there that is to eat 'Cold food'.  Let's see why people eat cold food, very few people know the disease and deficiency of vitamin B12. Because of this disease many people eat cold food But those who suffer in this disease they can't eat  this food  but get injections. And those who not eat cold food that all not suffer from this disease.

3) As the concept of worshiping goddess Shitalaa is failing and with they questions are raised against the practice of eating cold food, the new breed of nationalists have emerged to justify it as practice to overcome deficiency of vitamin B12. See the letter in gujarati.

      So we can say that People not think rationally. " શીતળા માતાના ભક્ત ક્યારેય rationally વિચાર કરતા જ નથી , કે શા માટે ટાઢો ખોરાક ખાવાનો, શીતળાનુ રસીકરણ પણ કરાવશે અને માતાના ડરથી પુજા પણ કરશે ,પણ કોઇ જાણવાની કોશિશ નહીં કરે કે શા માટે આપણે આવા નિયમોનું પાલન કરવું જોઈએ, તેનુ કારણ શું છે".

One of the Hindi devotional movie is based on Shitala saatam and all the things, that is "sheetala Mata" by Ramgopal gupta.If you want to watch movie then click here.

                  Sheetal Mata movie (1981)

This movie released in 1981 . If any diractor make movie this type of unbelievable truth then what we say comman people. In T. V. Screen shows Shitala Mata and also protagonist who has totally believe in religion. Why any diractor don't make movie about what exactly the disease  of Shitala, there is no any goddess of Shitala  and Edward Jenner.  May be This type of movie made  a strong belief in this misconception. Think about it...,

Thank you

Dryden: An essay on Dramatic poesy

Hello friends !

    Welcome to my blog. This blog is about Dryden's essay " An essay on Dramatic poesy". Dryden was an  English critic and poet. Dr. Samuel Johnson said that who was father of english criticism.  This task is given by Dr Dilip barad sir in " flipped learning". We have to listen the six videos , then write a concept of the video and write down atlist one question from each video. If you want listen and watch the video click here.

• Concept and ideas which I liked from a short video:

First video

•  Lecture on Dryden as a father of english criticism Neo-classical critic and definition of play :

   In this short video Dr. Sanjay Mukharjee very well explained about why Dryden different from Neo-classical critic , why who had known as a father of english criticism and also the definition that given by Dryden.In which I liked most that is , which way he had explain the definition by Dryden.

    "A just and lively image of human nature representing its passion and humours and the change of fortune to which it is subject, for the delight and instruction of mankind".

This definition campare with the Plato and Aristotle's view and his definition. Plato said about poet's merely a copy and a second hand imitation.

Second video

• Lecture on Dryden as critic and title of the essay:

      In this video speaker talk about Dryden who was known for his poetry but here he talks about which way he was known for his criticism. And also other thing what is the meaning of title , why Dryden choose this title.

    Speaker said that Dryden was classicisit , not a blind classicist. Who had  written this critical work in  dramatic poetry form. In which we find that four characters:

• Eugenius ( Charles sachville)
• Crites ( Sir Robert Howard) 
• Lisideius ( Sir  Charles Sadly)
• Neander ( Dryden himself)

    The meaning of title " An essay on Dramatic poesy" is the poetical art for drama.

Third video

• Lecture on Dryden's definition of play:

In this video speaker talk about the definition of play by Dryden.In which highlights the point like that jast and lively, representing human nature, the word delight used here not a pleasure and also peace of mankind.

Forth video

• Lecture on camparative criticism of the ancient the moderns and the French playwrights :

          This video is about we find that the argument that can we built something separately, do we subaltern, Do we need to look back to the ancient , Do we need only follow them. I like this question.

     But when we compare the four characters in Dryden's work with, that is not only a character but actually a person.

• Crites: who argues in favour of the ancient.

• Eugenius : who had favoured the moderns ovro ancient.

• Lisideius: he argued that French drama is superior than english. 

• Neander: he favoured English drama without  disparage the ancient and say about critical things to say of French drama.

 This thing discussed here with very well explanation. And also discussed that what is the effect of king Charles who studied and lived their.

Fifth video:

• On the debate regarding appropriateness of rhyme and blank verse.

Here we find that the controversy regarding use and avoidance of rhymes in Dryden's essay. In which dryden said that "serious play written in verse" , but he himself  not written serious work in verse that is " All from love" . So here we find that his strong point becames a weak one. Crites begin objecting this thing. In his defence Neander takes last half of definition and he says the ultimate goal to provide delight and pleasure. The dramatist write a serious play then audience not feel pleasure so writer should write in verse that through audience feel plasure. But the main argument is there after a time he himself not followed this style.

Sixth video

• Lecture on controversy regarding the rhymes lines  v/s the blank verse.

      In thi sixth video, discussion about crites and Neander's argument about using rhyme and blank verse. Neander who stands for the use of rhymed word. But crites argued that "Rhyme is unnatural to the play, so it should not be it is not a proper way to carry the just and lively image".

   Another argument is ' without premeditation, it is impossible to express or speak' . This type of argument we find here.

• Here I am written one question from each video:

1. In this first video we find that Plato up to Sidney there's a touch of Ideal representation. So what is the ideal representation? 
2. What is the doctrinal approach?
3. In the play instruction should be delightful for mankind Why?
4. Why lisideius said that French drama is superior? 
5. Crites argument against Neander is appreciated or not? 
6. In this video mentioned that ' No one without premeditation speak about  in rhymed' in this reference what is the premeditation?

Thank you......

Task on " The Purpose"

Hello readers!

Welcome to my blog. Every person have his different purposes for live the life,No one live life without purpose. Here  I would like to talk about T. P. Kailasam's The purpose. This task given by Vaidehi ma'am . If you know more about 'THE purpose' and this task then  click here to visit Vaidehi ma'am's blog.

• First briefly know about T. P. Kailasam:

Thanjavur paramasiva kailasam(1884-1946) was the prominent writer of Kannada  literature. His contribution to Kannada theatrical comedy earned him the title  'प्रहसाना पितामहा' that means " the father of humorous plays". And later he was called " one and only kailasam for Kannada". He was known for  wit and satirical commentray on society.

  This play 'The purpose' based on Indian great epic Mahabharata's adiparva . But here kailasam's perspective different from  great Ved vyas.  Here kailasam speak about Eklavya's purpose and his perspective.

Post- viewing task:

• Campare and contrast Arjuna and Eklavya's character :

      In Mahabharata we find that different story than T.P.Kailasam's 'The purpose'. In Mahabharata Arjun was not rude and arrogant at all, he was mature and good hearted man. But here Kailasam tell a story from Eklavya's point of view.

    In Kailasam's the purpose we find two characters that is different and contrast with each other , that is Arjun and Eklavya. Let's look for which way  both character contrast with each other:   

    In this way both character contrast with one another. 

  

      When we campare both character then we find that both of ambitious  and they worked hard for made them goul and dream complete. Both of hardworking and ambitious that is the one similarity of them.

• What is subaltern? Who do you think is the subaltern of this play ?

     General meaning of 'Subaltern'(click here to  watch video on subaltern) 'A person holding a subordinate position specifically. From the latiL roots "sub" means 'below' and "alternus" means 'all others'.  The term is also used to discribe someone who has as a poor person living under a dictatorship. A subaltern is someone with a low ranking in a social, political or other hierarchy. It can also mean someone who has be marginalized or oppressed.

        Eklavya is the subaltern of this play. Who had marginalized by upper class  , prince Arjuna. This thing we find Arjuna's dailogue:
Arjuna disgust in his face and voice:

    " Like you ? I do not like you! I dislike you ! Very much !"

(Leering at Eklavya) : " Gurujee.... To take you! A nishaada !!... As fellow pupil of us royal princes ! You must to think of it! ".

• Write your views about education system in India with reference to past and present time :

       

        The history of Indian education has its roots to the ancient ages where they followed the Gurukal system – a system where the students resided in the house of their teacher until the teacher felt that he has imparted all that he could. The subjects taught varied from Sanskrit to Scriptures.

 However, this system was changed during the Colonial era. While the ancient system included more interaction with the nature, the modern system was more classroom oriented. In India present education system becames business, no one who thinks about students future and India's future. 

See the picture

If education is good then and then India became a well economics condition. I think the education system some points very boring one.

In ancient time don't aloud to woman education but in modern times woman can also going to school and learn .

       Government of India  try to make "ભાર. વગરનું ભણતર" but that thing not followed properly. In many cities we find that expansive tution classes. I think we have to improve our education system.

• Is Dronacharya an ideal teacher ? If yes then how ? And If no then why? Explain with examples.

   

     Yes , at  some point we can say that  T. P. Kailasam's Dronachar is an ideal teacher. Because of his behaviour towards Eklavya. He has never behave rudely with Eklavya. He was ready to teach Eklavya,If Arjuna was not interfere and say about his promise towards him. Dronacharya's humble behaviour with his students showed his idealness.

    In the dialogue of Arjuna we find that situation of Dronacharya :
    Arjuna:
          " Gurujee you seem to have forgotten all about the promise ,you have made to Taataajee not to take in any more pupils until you have finished training us ! ".

     Dronacharya was faced this type of situation from Bhishama ,do not teach any other pupil. And gave promised. So he was not take Eklavya as a student. After all Dronacharya was an ideal teacher.

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

     When I was in 7 th standard, I had participate one quize competition and I win the competition with second rank. So on that day prize not ready so our sir decided to got prize on 26 th January. So on the day of 26 January ,I was very happy because " I got prize" . But then very bad Tragedy happened with me because one of the person. When 1st number declared I was almost ready for second prize. But my name was not there. I was out of the rank list. Then I told to sir , but not find any solution and  no one think about it. That is the bad experience of my life.
