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.

Thank you.......
