Krishna killed Ekalavya, but why?
In the Mahabharata period, in the coastal region of Prayag (Allahabad), there was the splendor of Shringwarpur State Eklavya's father, Nishadraj Hiranaydhanu. Shringwarpur, situated on the banks of the Ganges, was its strong capital. At that time, the strength of the kingdom of Shangriver was equivalent to big states like Magadha, Hastinapur, Mathura, Chadi and Chanderey. The heroism of Nishad Hiranyandhu and his commander Giribir was well known.
The public was happy and happy with Snehanchal of Nishadraj Hiranandhu and Rani Sulekha. The King used to operate the state with the help of the American Council. Nishadraj Hiranyadhu received a son named "Abidyudan" by Queen Sulekha. Often people called him "Abhay". At the age of five, the education system of Eklavya was arranged in Kula Gurukul.
Given the passion and loyalty of the weapon in childhood, the teacher addressed the child as "Eklavya". When Eklavya was young, his marriage was made by Hiranyandhu with the daughter of a Nishad friend, Sunita. Eklavya wanted to get higher education in archery. At that time there was the fame of Guru Drona in Archeology. But they taught only Brahmin and Kshatriyas and were hard-working to teach Shudras. Maharaj Hiranyandhu explained Eklavya quite a lot that Drona will not teach you. Eklavya celebrated his father that Acharya Drona himself would be his disciple after being influenced by his weapon. But Eklavya's thinking was not correct - Drona turned him away from the ashram.
Eklavya did not want to accept the defeat and he did not want to return to the house without any armed education. Therefore Eklavya made a statue of Acharya Dron in the forest and started practicing archery. Soon he got mastery in archery. Once Dronacharya came in the same forest with his disciples and a dog. Eklavya was practicing archery at that time. The dog looked at Eklavya looking at the eye. With the dog barking, Eklavya's behavior was interrupted, so he closed the dog's mouth with his arrows. Eklavya had used this skill with arrows that the dog did not suffer any kind of injury. The dog ran near Drona. Drona and the disciple were surprised to see such superior archery. They came to search for that great teacher suddenly, he saw Ekalavya, who wanted to keep the archery limited to only Kshatriyas and Brahmins, he was shocked to see them go into the hands of Shudras. Only then did Arjuna remember the promise of making the best archers in the world. Drona asked Eklavya- whom did you learn from this archery? Eklavya - Acharya Eklavya pointed towards the statue made of Drona soil. Drona wants from Eklavya the Guru Dakshina, Eklavya seeking the right hand of Eklavya, cut his forelock and offered Guru Drona.
After Kumar Eklavya's thumb sacrifice, father goes to Hiranyandhu. Eklavya retrieves the skill of his thumb without any skill in the archery. In all archery competition held in today's era, the thumb is not used, so it is appropriate to say that Eklavya was the father of modern archery.
After the death of his father, he becomes the ruler of the kingdom of the kingdom. With the advice of the Amatya Council, he not only administers his kingdom but also constitutes a strong army and navy of Nishad Bhilon and extends the boundaries of his state.
It is mentioned in Vishnu Purana and Harivansh Purana that after becoming the king of the Nishad dynasty, Eklavya had almost attacked the army of Jarsand against Mathura and almost wiped out the Yadav army. After making haykar in the Yadav dynasty, when Krishna saw Eklavya while running the bow and arrow with the help of just four fingers in the right hand, he did not believe in the scene.
Eklavya alone was able to stop hundreds of Yadav warriors. In this war, Krishna slaughtered Eklavya from deceit. His son Ketuman was killed by Bhima in the Mahabharata war.
When all the Pandavas were sacrificing their valor after the war, Krishna had spoken of his Arjuna love.
Krishna had said clearly to Arjuna that "I have not done anything in your love." You call me the best archer of the world for this, I killed Dronacharya, weakened the great Karna, and even without your knowledge, Bhil son Eklavya was also given victory without any knowledge so that there would be no obstruction in your way.
