Why did Drona refuse to have Ekalavya as his pupil ?
Drona, was a Brahmana who knew dharma. He taught archery to the Kuru princes. Once he was approached by Ekalavya, a forest dwelling Nishada (a hunting community) to teach him archery but Drona refused to have Ekalavya as his pupil as he was a person of low origin Nishada.
