Social Studies Fun Rabindranath Tagore was an excellent poet and author. However, he was also a freedom fighter who tried to educate people through his writings about the freedom struggle. He even returned the knighthood that the British bestowed on him. His letter renouncing the knighthood remains a legend in the history of protest literature. Read a copy of the letter below. Calcutta [India] 31 May 1919 Your Excellency, The enormity of the measures taken by the Government in the Punjab for quelling some local disturbances has, with a rude shock, revealed to our minds the helplessness of our position as British subjects in India. The disproportionate severity of the punishments inflicted upon the unfortunate people and the methods of carrying them out, we are convinced, are without parallel in the history of civilised governments, barring some conspicuous exceptions, recent and remote. Considering that such treatment has been meted out to a population, disarmed and resourceless, by a power which has the most terribly efficient organisation for destruction of human lives, we must strongly assert that it can claim no political expediency, far less moral justification. The accounts of the insults and sufferings by our brothers in Punjab have trickled through the gagged silence, reaching every corner of India, and the universal agony of indignation roused in the hearts of our people has been ignored by our rulers – possibly congratulating themselves for what they imagine as salutary lessons. This callousness has been praised by most of the Anglo-Indian papers, which have in some cases gone to the brutal length of making fun of our sufferings, without receiving the least check from the same authority – relentlessly careful in smothering every cry of pain and expression of judgement from the organs representing the sufferers. Knowing that our appeals have been in vain and that the passion of vengeance is blinding the nobler vision of statesmanship in our Government, which could so easily afford to be magnanimous as befitting its physical strength and moral tradition, the very least that I can do for my country is to take all consequences upon myself in giving voice to the protest of the millions of my countrymen, surprised into a dumb anguish of terror. The time has come when badges of honour make our shame glaring in the incongruous context of humiliation, and I for my part wish to stand, shorn of all special distinctions, by the side of those of my countrymen, who, for their so-called insignificance, are liable to suffer degradation not fit for human beings. These are the reasons which have painfully compelled me to ask Your Excellency, with due deference and regret, to relieve me of my title of Knighthood, which I had the honour to accept from His Majesty the King at the hands of your predecessor, for whose nobleness of heart I still entertain great admiration. Yours faithfully, Rabindranath Tagore 4488

7Lesson The Story of Eklavya Art and Culture Warm Up • What are the qualities that you think a student should have? • What are the qualities that you think a teacher should have? Let us read a story from the famous Indian epic Mahabharata about a student named Eklavya. I Read Long ago, in the forests of the kingdom of Hastinapura, lived a boy named Eklavya. Eklavya was the son of the tribal chief and was loved by all. However, he often remained sad as he wanted to learn archery. So, one day, he decided to go to Dronacharya, a master of military arts. He bowed and introduced archery himself to the Guru and said, ‘I am Eklavya, son of the tribal chief from the western part of the forests of Hastinapura. I want to be your disciple. Please accept me and teach me the wonderful military arts art of archery.’ Drona sighed and said, ‘Eklavya, as a teacher of the members of the royal family, I am not allowed to teach the art of archery to anybody else.

He went to the forest, took some mud from a nearby river and made a statue of Dronacharya. Every day, Eklavya practised archery with sincerity and dedication and became the best archer. Many years later, while Eklavya was practising one day, he heard a dedication dog barking. He ignored it for some time, but the dog’s continuous barking distracted him. He turned around and fired seven arrows in rapid succession to fill the dog’s mouth without injuring it. As a result of this, the dog started to roam about the forests with its mouth open and went to the same forest where Dronacharya was instructing the Pandavas, the members of the royal family, about a few finer points of archery. Everyone noticed the dog with arrows in his mouth. Guru Dronacharya was amazed and wondered, ‘Who could have pulled off such a feat of archery?’ They saw a boy dressed in tribal clothes. It was Eklavya. Dronacharya praised Eklavya and asked him, ‘Who taught you archery?’ Eklavya was thrilled to hear Drona’s praises, ‘From you my Master. You are my Guru’, Eklavya replied humbly. ‘Your Guru? How can I be your Guru? I have never seen you before!’ Drona exclaimed in surprise. ‘Dronacharya’, replied the boy. ‘I made your statue and worshipped it every day. Thanks to it, I have become a good archer.’ Hearing this, Dronacharya became silent. He had ? What is guru promised the king to make Arjuna the best archer in dakshina? the world. After some thought, he asked, ‘Where is your guru dakshina? You have to give me a gift for your training.’ ‘Dronacharya, you are my Guru. I will offer whatever you ask for’, replied Eklavya. ‘I would like to have your right-hand thumb as my guru dakshina’, Dronacharya declared. Eklavya stood silently, for without his thumb he could never shoot arrows again. But he said ‘Ok Gurudev’, and he gave his thumb to his teacher. The sage was humbled. Dronacharya blessed the young archer devotion for his courage. ‘Eklavya, even without your thumb, you’ll be known as a great archer. I bless you that you will be remembered forever for your devotion to your guru’, said Dronacharya and left the forest. – Adapted from the Mahabharata The Story of Eklavya 51 A Good Play
