1/12 🧵
Critics who misinterpret #Ekalavya from Mahabharata lack depth. Their ignorance distorts the narrative. Let's teach these guys properly, shall we? please share this thread @jsaideepak @SagasofBharat @neha2180 @vijaygajera @ashishvyas__ @AchAnkurArya @StringReveals @chronicle_watch @MumukshuSavitri @Tushar_KN @ShreeHistory @Sudanshutrivedi @ProfVemsani @Sanjay_Dixit @Sanathantravelr #FactCheck #Fact #FactsMatter #sanatandharma #sanatan
2/12 First let's know who Ekalavya was! he wasn't some down trodden guy and you'll be clear on this after reading the following.
3/12 Mahabharat's Adiparv highlights warrior clans. Ekalavya is consistently recognized among these valorous warriors since the epic's inception.
4/12 Surprise Surprise! As per Harivansh Puran, Ekalavya was cousin brother of Lord Krishna adopted by Nishad king Hiranyadhanu
5/12 Ekalavya even introduces himself as the son of King of Nishads. So I hope its clear that he wasn't some down trodden boy at all.
6/12 Now let's understand, why Ekalvya wasn't entertained by Dronacharya? why Dronacharya did what he did? and then the propaganda will die properly.
7/12 Ekalavya was adopted son of Hiranyadhanu who was commander of Jarasandh's army ie an enemy of kurus and yadus.
8/12 Ekalavya even attacked dwarika, one such battle where he fought balrama is mentioned below
9/12 In fact the righteous and noble ekalavya was killed by none other than Yaduvanshi Lord Krishna Himself. What does it tell you about political inclinations of Ekalavya?
10/12 Krishna killed Ekalavya knowing very well that he will align with Kauravas alogn with jarasandh, shishupal and other adharmis.
11/12 So now tell me how could Dronacharya give weapon training to a prince ie ekalavya who belonged to enemy state? It's like asking Israel to train Hamas Tetotist?
12/12 Neglected is Dronacharya's plight; impoverished, he faced Drupad's scorn. Unable to afford milk for his child, who will talk about that?
