1. Read the following passage and then answer the questions that follow.

A long time ago, theyoung Kaurava and Pandava princes grew up together in Hastinapur.
They were taught archery and fencing by their teacher, Dronacharya. He would often take
his students to the forest to teach them how to hunt. One day, while the princes were
practising in the forest, a young man came from the forest to meet Dronacharya. "O great
master !" he said, " Please let me be your student. I want to learn archery from you."
Dronacharya replied, "Goback to the forest, young man. I cannot teach you. Iam the royal
teacher of the kingdomn of Hastinapur. Iteach only warriors or kshatriyas." The young
man's name was Ekalavya. He was the son of the chief of a group of people who lived in the
forest. He was disappointed that Dronacharya had not agreed to teach him. However, he
still thought of Dronacharya as his teacher and built a clay statue of him and began to
practise in front of him. He practised hard for years till he became an expert at archery.
Afew years later, Dronacharya and the princes went hunting in the forest. They saw
Ekalavya shooting without looking at his target. Dronacharya was amazed to see this and
recognised him /mmediately. On asking who had taught him to shoot so well, Ekalavya
replied that he had been practisingin front of Dronacharya's statue. "If Iam your teacher,
where is my gurudakshina?" In those days, a pupil would give his guru something in return
for what he had been taught. This was called gurudakshina. "Iwill give you anything you
want, Master," said Ekalavya. Dronacharya asked Ekalavya to give him his riht thumb.
Without saying a word, Ekalavya cut off his thumb and gave it to Dronacharya. This
showed how obedient he was and respected his teacher. With practice, Ekalavya learnt how
toshoot a bow and an arrow by using his index and middle fingers instead. He became one
of the best archers in all the land. Dronacharya was very proud of him.
