Eklavya is a Nishadha boy from the Bhal community who has an ambition to become the best archer. Though talented, he is refused training by the teacher Drona because Drona only teaches princes. Eklavya learns archery on his own through self-study using a clay image of Drona. He surpasses Arjuna in skill but is still asked by Drona to pay a guru dakshina of his right thumb so Arjuna can remain the best archer, showing how the caste system limits opportunities. Eklavya's willingness to sacrifice his thumb and skill for his ambition makes him a tragic hero in the play.
