‘‘Proper’’ social roles

Here is a story from the Adi Parvan of the Mahabharata :

Once Drona, a Brahmana who taught archery to the Kuru

princes, was approached by Ekalavya, a forest-dwelling

nishada (a hunting community). When Drona, who knew the

dharma, refused to have him as his pupil, Ekalavya returned

to the forest, prepared an image of Drona out of clay, and

treating it as his teacher, began to practise on his own. In due

course, he acquired great skill in archery. One day, the Kuru

princes went hunting and their dog, wandering in the woods,

came upon Ekalavya. When the dog smelt the dark nishada

wrapped in black deer skin, his body caked with dirt, it began

to bark. Annoyed, Ekalavya shot seven arrows into its mouth.

When the dog returned to the Pandavas, they were amazed at

this superb display of archery. They tracked down Ekalavya,

who introduced himself as a pupil of Drona.



61/2 7 P.T.O.

Drona had once told his favourite student Arjuna, that he

would be unrivalled amongst his pupils. Arjuna now reminded

Drona about this. Drona approached Ekalavya, who

immediately acknowledged and honoured him as his teacher.

When Drona demanded his right thumb as his fee, Ekalavya

unhesitatingly cut it off and offered it. But thereafter, when

he shot with his remaining fingers, he was no longer as fast as

he had been before. Thus, Drona kept his word : no one was

better than Arjuna.

(15.1) Why did Drona refuse to have Ekalavya as his pupil ?

(15.2) How did Ekalavya react to the demand of his Guru ?

(15.3) Mention two versions of Guru-Shishya Parampara mentioned in

the given extract.

The child sati

This is perhaps one of the most poignant descriptions by Bernier :

At Lahore, I saw a most beautiful young widow sacrificed,

who could not, I think, have been more than twelve years of

age. The poor little creature appeared more dead than alive

when she approached the dreadful pit: the agony of her mind

cannot be described; she trembled and wept bitterly; but three

or four of the Brahmanas, assisted by an old woman who held

her under the arm, forced the unwilling victim toward the

fatal spot, seated her on the wood, tied her hands and feet,

lest she should run away, and in that situation the innocent

creature was burnt alive. I found it difficult to repress my

feelings and to prevent their bursting forth into clamorous

and unavailing rage ...

(16.1) Why did Bernier consider this treatment as a crucial marker of

the difference between western and eastern societies ?

(16.2) What role did the Indian patriarchal society play towards this

social evil ?

(16.3) Compare the condition of the women of the era mentioned above

to that of today.

‘‘British element is gone but they have left the mischief behind’’

Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel said :

It is no use saying that we ask for separate electorates,

because it is good for us. We have heard it long enough. We

have heard it for years, and as a result of this agitation we are

now a separate nation ... Can you show me one free country

where there are separate electorates ? If so, I shall be

prepared to accept it. But in this unfortunate country if this

separate electorate is going to be persisted in, even after the

division of the country, woe betide the country; it is not worth

living in. Therefore, I say, it is not for my good alone, it is for

your own good that I say it, forget the past. One day, we may

be united ... The British element is gone, but they have left

the mischief behind. We do not want to perpetuate that

mischief. (Hear, hear). When the British introduced this

element they had not expected that they will have to go so

soon. They wanted it for their easy administration. That is all

right. But they have left the legacy behind. Are we to get out

of it or not ?

CAD, VOL.V

(17.1) Why are separate electorates considered as a mischief ?

(17.2) State the arguments given by Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel for

news magazine, Time. In its Ist report on the march the magazine was deeply sceptical of the salt march reaching its destination. But shortly it changed its view and saluted Gandhi as a ‘saint ‘ and statesman.

v. Salt March was notable for three reasons : Firstly this event brought Gandhiji to world attention . It was widely covered by the European and American Press.

vi. Secondly it was the Ist nationalist activity in which women participated in large numbers. Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay the socialist activist persuaded Gandhiji not to restrict the protest to men alone . She herself courted arrest by breaking salt and Liquor Laws.

viii. To that end British Government convened a series of Round Table Conferences in London. First meeting was held in Nov 1930 without any pre-eminent political Indian leader and was futile.
