Discuss the following in groups of 4 each and write in a paragraph. Was Drona unfair in his demand?

Answer»

Thus, when Buttoo approached him for help in learning the art of archery, Drona rejected him and sent him away. Probably he had realized that Buttoo was not an ordinary hunter’s boy. Yet he was loyal to the royal family and declined to teach Buttoo.

When Drona realized that Butto had turned out to be a greater archer than Arjuna, he foresaw the threat to the princes.

When Buttoo also confessed that he had learnt it secretively from Drona’s image, Drona got his opportunity.

Very shrewdly, and rather ruthlessly, he asked for the gift of his righthand thumb from Buttoo, and eliminated all competition to his richer and more powerful students. He cannot be said to be unfair in his demand, though he was rather heartless.
