EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from Indian mythology, the young and determined prince Ekalavya (left) is depicted in deep concentration before a statue of his revered guru, Drona (right). The scene represents a pivotal moment in their complex relationship, marked by caste discrimination and the indomitable spirit of the young prince. Ekalavya, a prince from a low caste and of a different race, was deeply passionate about archery and longed to learn from the renowned guru Drona. However, Drona, a Kshatriya Brahmin, refused to teach him due to his low caste status and different racial background. Undeterred, Ekalavya took matters into his own hands and sought to learn the art of archery through self-study and dedication. The image captures the intense focus and determination in Ekalavya's eyes as he pays homage to his guru's statue, seeking guidance and wisdom from afar. The statue of Drona, with its serene and authoritative expression, symbolizes the wisdom and knowledge that Ekalavya yearned to acquire. This historical myth, set in ancient India, highlights the complexities of caste and racial discrimination that have long been a part of Indian society. Despite the obstacles, Ekalavya's unwavering dedication and self-belief ultimately led him to become an archery master in his own right, surpassing even the skills of his rejected guru. The image is a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity and the importance of perseverance and self-belief in the face of discrimination. It is a testament to the rich and complex history of India, filled with tales of courage, determination, and the indomitable human spirit.
